Palm Springs -Twin Palms (Frank Sinatra's house) When Frank Sinatra arrived in Palm Springs in the 1940’s, he brought allure and sex appeal to the formerly sleepy town. Soon after, Palm Springs became the ultimate destination for jet setters and Hollywood royalty. Sinatra put Palm Springs on the map, and his presence can still be felt fifty years later as many come to visit Ol’ Blue Eyes’ haunts and to unwind in the desert, Sinatra style. He first came to Palm Springs in search of a weekend home for his family after signing a lucrative movie contract with MGM. As architect E. Stewart Williams recalls, it all started during the summer of 1947 when “Frank came in with a white sailor hat and an ice cream cone and said ‘I want that house’.” For Williams, it was his first residential commission. from www.sinatrahouse.com

I paint in a style for a period of a four to six weeks or so untill I get bored and pick up another style, I tend alternate between tighter realist styles and looser more abstract styles, subject matter changes but there are definite reocurring themes. Beaches, pools, bathers, scenes from classic films, history... forming a backdrop to my own meditation on the subject. Within that space I focus on expressions of social dynamics. In this sense I feel I am more of a traditionalist as I attempt to relate back to painting history and pull away from the other media -film and photo- which ironically inform and are sometimes the starting point of my work. On a formal level I am currently focused on extending and strengthening my colour palette, for example in many of the scenes I will incorporate primary and complementary colour dynamics - cool versus warm– to create spatial tension the way Richard Diebenkorn was able to so successfully; a large ocean/pool blue or tree green punctuated by a small area of skin tone or a bright red or yellow umbrella or swimming suit. I find in much of my painting I cannot easily separate nostalgia for a bygone era, the sensual from more specific contemporary iconography of human interaction. I think this makes the subject-matter multi-layered and keeps me interested in making work. Hopefully it makes it more interesting to the viewer as well.
