Southwest Abstractions: A Modernist Tradition
Following a Modernist tradition, my work abstracts nature. In painting the landscape, I generally consider the idea of the setting more than the actual look of a specific landmark. In these latest works, I've tried to capture the land's rhythmic and dynamic qualities. In some, I've incorporated watercolor washes and accents of gouache; others are works in either oil or acrylic. Each is part of an ongoing series of atmospheric landscapes celebrating the seasons and senses of the Southwest. Click on each of the works to see the full image.
