Two of my latest figurative paintings in the studio. Like all my work these pieces are about distortion and outrage, and have nothing to do with good, beautiful or accurate. .I’m not thinking about how they look on a wall in a room. I’m not interested in what is the current vogue. What fascinates me continues to be people and their inner feelings, emotions, worries, joys, everyday lives. I paint what can’t be seen. None of it is real – just imagination of a moment in time. Or, maybe it is real, but inexplicable.

Blue and White

I’ve been having so much fun this summer in the studio painting with blues. So many shades and hues, muted and bold, thick and thin, rich and dull. Blues always have a huge impact on one’s psychology. Even unexpected. They can uplift and caress. Blue jeans, the sky, a lake, icing on a cake. Why not celebrate freedom, sensitivity and imagination with blue?

Yves Klein, “At first there is nothing, then there is a profound nothingness, after that a blue profundity.”

Henri Matisse: “A certain blue enters your soul. A certain red has an effect on your blood pressure.”
