Here is a large scale painting from 2016. I’ve thought about returning to this work to create a larger series. This started in 2015 while on a road-trip on a postcard drawing and now have around 10 works in this style. I’ve often thought of this work as serene while other pieces in this series represent stronger emotions including fear, joy, healing, and community. Looking out my window at the oak leaves just now, I close my eyes and see each leaf as a different color. I don’t usually paint what I see in any literal sense, but I often wonder what the world would look like if we were to wear more striking colors. Of course avoiding gaudy and extreme combinations. What if each color of this piece represented a person and we watched it flow across the wall? Perhaps another work to ponder for the future.
