This simple piece was a new experiment with simplicity and ways to get a large amount of glow into a canvas- I used a new roller tool and a new adhesive I had not tried before, and covered the face of the canvas- except for a small margin- with glue, and then sprinkled powdered strontium aluminate over it to achieve a stunningly bright field of green photoluminescence. These minerals are excited by any visible light, and glow all night. They are rated toy-safe, and are many times brighter than ceiling stars or craft store glow paints. They will recharge for decades. It really is a functioning nightlight. The linear element is translucent watercolor and opaque acrylic. The texture is the product of the glue and minerals shifting when I turned the canvas to remove the loose powder. I like the effect it made. The title is intended to be silly- flipping a metaphor to something concrete- there is a tiny dot of brown inside the closed circle- that's "the point" being missed by the other wandering dot elements.

The driving force of my art is curiosity. Each piece begins with the question “What if?” What if I use these colors, textures, materials, techniques, or objects together? Each work is a surprise package I get to slowly open. I study art, and in my head I divide the field between decorative art that people want in their homes, which is great, and “arty” art that is innovative, original, and sometimes gallery-worthy. I often fail but generally aim for the elusive territory between the two- attempting to create things pleasing to the eye that people might want to live with, while pushing out boundaries for both everyday and more sophisticated art lovers. A unique recurring feature of most of my work is the inclusion of photoluminescent strontium aluminate doped with rare earths. I make the pigments myself for maximum luminance. The works are thereby two compositions, one by day and a second, rather magical composition that appears at night. I employ super-bright child-safe minerals that shed light for 10 to 20 hours after exposure to any visible light, and that continue to be “re-excitable” for decades. I do not have a single style because my relentless curiosity leads me in many directions as I constantly explore new materials, tools, techniques, and “What if?” questions.
