MY REACTION:  Oh these new pieces are like delicious exotic fruits.  The colors are so ripe.  In these works, I am just as focused on the use of color and the application of materials as I would be when creating a landscape or a portrait.  These are beautiful abstracts first and foremost, the words come second.  But the words add something, too, I hope.

CONTENT:  Simple.  Words that help.  Faith brings peace.  I am not speaking of religion.  I am speaking of guts.  What you know.  Deep down.  Really know.  Believing brings peace.

ARTISTIC CONCERNS:  This is a multi-layered oil pastel drawing with a wee bit of graphite.  Many lines and letters are "etched" into the oil pastel with a dental tool.  Some areas are purposefully rough and sketchy.  Because life looses a bit of magic when you polish it too much.

As for inspiration:  These pieces, more then most, show how I have been affected by the gorgeous works of both Paul Klee and Wolf Kahn.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:  This piece will need to be matted and framed if you want to protect your investment.
