Adventure Calls Ideas Painting

ADVENTURE CALLS IDEAS is from the series HERE AND WHEN. The goops and scratches and washes make this piece especially intriguing. In harmony with the textures is the idea that there is such an interesting process of emotions that occur when formulating ideas. There is the vast space of thinking and feeling that something is stirring yet, I'm not sure yet "what" is stirring. Then, the very brief few seconds it happens - an idea is born. How it goes from there is so dependent on the importance, intention, development...the process can be ended or endless.... is as individual as our DNA. This series, HERE AND WHEN for me, is connected to and emotionally drawn from horizons maybe found in landscapes. (Here) Or times of expression and emotion. (When). This series of paintings often include a prominently placed rectangle or square. I am often asked why I choose to add these. The answer is different for each painting. For one painting it may be a source of reflection. For another painting it may be a place of rest or a portal to enter. And there is no correct answer. Because what is more important to me is what the viewer finds the rectangle or square to be. That’s true of my entire compositions. The process is for me, the finished piece is for the beholder.
