Abstractions in Nature
I do not stray far from representation and never from nature itself in my work. But at times, especially when I paint from memory or sensation, what appears on the canvas is so ethereal it can be described as an abstraction. Included here are glimpses of nature, sidelong glances at the natural world through my own sensibility. There is always a level of enigma in nature and in the way we connect with it. My abstractions, if they can be called that, come closest to capturing that enigmatic quality.
