Winter Mornings Painting

REPAINTED!!!! JUST COMPLETED, VERY IMPASTO- DRING-SHIPS APRIL 2024 I just felt the need to let some energy out after a very difficult start to the year, and I've wanted to retouch this self-portrait for some time. However, the retouch morphed into a beautiful explosion of paint (felling much like Action painting) and what emerged from this experience was an abstract expressionist visage of energy, confidence and a certain oneness with the universe. The process was extremely exciting as I used everything from a brush, rag, back end of a paint tube and even found pieces of broken wood to convey the impasto strokes....seriously satisfying to complete! From the old description: In honor of the fact that I am not a morning person (especially in the winter)...add 3 crazy French bulldogs to that mix and you get a mad dash to dress, grab a coffee, not trip over a dog and get everyone outside into the snow ASAP. Its crazy and cold, but as long as I have a hot coffee and a soft sweater all is well again in the world. Recently, curiosities have arisen regarding representation of the figure and how I wanted to perceive the figure in both naturalistic and implied form. Add to that a wantonness to explore passive and aggressive mark making as an additional sign of visual conveyance, and a new sub-set of figurative works arrives! Each mark I execute in the paint harkens me back to the excellence of Action Painting whereas each action is a roller coaster of emotion. Also, as much as these works are about mark making they are also visual essays of the medium itself and what it chooses to convey during the process of creation.
