Tempted, acrylic on cradled wood panel, 11 x 14 inches

It took me a while to see it.

I have fallen into a way of working in my sketchbook that feels just about right for now.

And then there are my paintings, infused with a language all their own, using color, shape, texture, and movement.

My sketches sometimes serve as a warm up or they can be a place to release when some kind of image making is necessary.

The paintings are more deeply rooted statements.

Now I see that whether a quick sketch or a deeper processing, that what they are saying is indeed the same as an intuitive response to a sense of place.
