Structure

The further I paint, the more complicated the structure gets. The closer I look at nature, the more complicated it is. That said, the hard thing to do is to have a focused, concrete image while honoring the complexities of nature.

Form is now becoming something that is slowly chiseled out of light. Illuminated by relationships of colors next to one another.

In Hollywood classic movies, the magic of night scenes are done with a fake built set. This is the only way to illuminate the sensation one feels at night.
I am interested in the twilight hour or night. I think this is because color is no longer the local description. Form becomes a dance through illumination.
