Curator’s Comments:

This tondo shaped non-objective piece came up in a random selection today, and despite it being posted many years ago, I don’t remember seeing the piece on the site.  I was disappointed to see it was the only circular piece you shared, as the form creates a primacy and hierarchy in the overall viewing experience.  The bold shape also helps contain all of the active candy-colored pieces.  The dense surface is inviting.  I appreciate the layering of thicker daubs of paint on the smoother paint surfaces.  The work’s title, which contains numbers and Creek Stony doesn’t bring a particular narrative content to the piece, and so I interpret it as purely formal exploration of color and shape.  As these paintings were posted many years ago, I would be curious to see how your painting practice has continued.  Please consider posting new works to the site if you are still active.
