ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Vermeer's ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring' revisited-2018. The earring was probably polished Tin per a metallurgist. Acrylic with oil glazes on Masonite Board. Used "Old Master's" techniques with some added modern touches. I really love Vermeer's exquisite lighting, subtle value changes, and use of glazes. I tried to capture the model's pensive expression and piercing light, which seems to have taken her almost by surprise. The background was painted in variations of green as Vermeer had originally done. Varnished and Ready for display. Unframed - 15 w x 20 h x 0.5 d in. Will be shipped in a frame for protection. Can easily remove the frame to replace with your own.

My paintings are an archetypal transformation of my life experiences, and whether unconscious or not, represent an innate need to express my love of nature, the universe and the human body. I often incorporate abstract imagery with figures as a metaphor for our reliance, and intimate relationship with nature. I believe my love of nature came from the summers I spent as a child and adolescent in a rural, farming community in which I was almost always playing or working outdoors. As a seeker of beauty and truth, I like to keep my paintings simple, and uncomplicated. [Mark Rothko said, “We favor the simple expression of the complex thought.”] My paintings are mainly abstract, expressionistic, impressionistic, and minimal. While not readily identifiable for subject matter, the viewer's defenses are lowered, allowing the unconscious and subconscious mind to freely explore colors, shapes, textures, light, space, and design in the context of their own life experiences. I attempt to tap into the universal (collective unconscious), and become inspired from all creatures, humankind or otherwise - sublimating energy into matter. I use both old world, and modern techniques, which I learned under the instruction of artists Frank Covino, and Gale Bennett. I am always willing to experiment with different materials and media, often incorporating materials like metal, mica powders, Pebeo products as well as raw pigments to enhance light, depth, and color. All of my paintings are photographed in a controlled photographic studio using a tripod. No images are artificially (saturated) colored or "Photo-Shopped." My hope is for the viewer to engage in discovery, and obtain insight into self, others and nature.
