Quadrant

Interested in exploring the division of the picture plane into quadrants, or rectangular breakdowns.
These are about getting the eye to follow color paths & brushwork and to create a sense of filtered light.
"Fortuna" in the modular series is a literal translation of this series. In that one the idea of breaking up the picture plane is made real by using smaller canvases as segments of a larger work. See Modular Paintings.

Modular Art

These paintings are designed in units of 12x12 canvas. The units assemble to create an abstracted image, but that is just a starting point. Each individual piece is a composition that is successful in any orientation. The viewer/owner is encouraged to display units in pairs, rows, together or separately. The owner of this artwork becomes part of the process. The art can evolve and change - and as more modular paintings are created they open the possibilities to merge.


Fortuna

Alder

Alder
6 12x12

Sold

Alder is an acknowledgement of that which reaffirms growth. The alder tree is nature’s way of reestablishing a disturbed area, often unappreciated in its ability to put nitrogen back into the soil for the next generation of stronger and more permanent trees. Imagery of the feminine, of sky & water, of reaching, speaks of hope for the future. Look also for estuary, tree canopy, sun & stone.
