Lemon with Scribbles Painting

My paintings are about both the subject of the painting and the process of painting itself. I start a work because I'm interested in the play of light and color in a scene. As I paint, I want to capture those elements, but also explore the nature of painting itself. I mostly paint with a palette knife, using it to put paint on and to scrape it back. I draw into the paint and move objects around on the surface. This process results in a unique texture and a visible history of my exploration. This painting allows a great deal of the exploratory process to remain visible. The work is oil on board, and comes framed and ready to hang.
