I just finished Series 32, which has fifty each 16×20 inch paintings on canvas. Putting a new series online is like having an exhibition – it feels exciting and revelatory, but it’s usually anticlimatic because the real thrill of painting is in the process.
I start my paintings with a random mark and then improvise the rest, so I never know what the end result will be. The following images are first marks paired with final paintings in Series 32. The first image is taken with my phone camera in whatever light was available at the time, and the second is a high quality scan – you can really tell the difference in the way it picks up the color and texture of the canvas (I used clear gesso on these).
