Bill Painting

Bill, 2018 Acrylic on Paper 22"x30" Died 8/30/18, Age 71 "Fond of yanking a person's chain Bill teased you because he liked you" From the series: "Teach Us To Number Our Days". One of the experiences that has had great impact has been the death of my parents. Their passing moved me to the habit of reading obituaries-- not in a maudlin way but as a way to appreciate how the authors tries to express the unique and genuine lives of the people they loved and lost. I started to pull out sentences and phrases that stood out, and put them, verbatim, on great heavyweight paper left over from art school, along with images these words inspired. I love the immediacy of working on paper and the feeling of sketchiness. The resulting series I've called, "Teach Us to Number Our Days" from Psalm 90:12; a commentary on the brevity of life. My hope is that these paintings would elicit a response that is personal and meaningful to the viewer - isn't that the hope of every artist? Prints of this painting are available on fine art paper.
