NEW WORK, 2024  I've had several months where actual painting was impossible. I moved my studio from San Anselmo back to San Francisco. Cabinets, storage, and significant purging created a suitable space and environment for my painting endeavors to flourish. In the meantime, I experimented on my iPad using the Procreate App, which I have been using for simple artwork. My goal was to paint somehow, and if it was doing it digitally, why not? Painting with a plastic pen on glass is unlike painting with wet brushes loaded with pigment onto canvas. The beautiful features are in layering and treated like printmaking by transposing many layers around to create new visuals. I include traditionally prepared gouache backgrounds in all these images, scanned and imported to create more depth.
