trying to understand where I stand in the universe
acrylic on board, 2012 |
My process: It begins with a dream or a feeling that won't let me rest. The colors are vivid, usually 8 or more. When I get the blank white canvas, I narrow the colors to 4, selecting the most difficult hues to work with. I never know the exact final forms. I just follow my hands, trusting them to reveal the invisible.

Yes, I used only 4 colors: royal blue, tan, orange, and yellow. (Royal blue swirled with yellow created the olive green.)
