Fog & Life
Over the years I have frequently returned to using grays exclusively. Here I am exhibiting nine new gray works from my fog series. These were done while living with fog for several weeks and realizing that fog itself is a metaphor for life. Often alluring, misty, gentle and introspective, it can also be somewhat moody, confusing and/or dangerous. Working with the grays inherent in this abstract series gives me, as a painter, good reason to focus on a quieter introspective mood, while still emphasizing basic brushstrokes, and structure.

The abstract color pieces that I entitled Maine 1-8 are an abstract depiction of the softer side of a summer in Maine. Warm sunny yellows, golden yellow beaches, green hills, forests and gray rocks, all give off gentle sensations. The soft colors permeate the days for a certain period of time. I articulated this mood through use of brushstroke, lighter acrylic washes and softer hues.
