This piece was created during the pandemic of 2020. Because of the outbreak this painting took more time to complete (10 months) than any painting I'd done in the past thirty years. Many stops and starts, questions about progress, questions about the "new normal", questions about my own future. As with all work in my current process, this piece began as an all-over gestural, mark making work with pencil, charcoal and graphite powder. Four layers of acrylic paint were then applied creating color relationships and improvised shapes. The final stages involve further form improvisation with the use of oil paint and cold wax medium. Lines are often created with the edges of shapes. As an artist (painter/musician) I am forever interested in unorthodox forms, adaptation and improvisation. The painting exhibits both visual and physical texture. Since the support is wood, there is a good deal of scratching, gouging and physical mark making at every level of progress. The piece is sanded at different stages of development and glazes are also applied and wiped off. It is made rich with layering, repetition and random order. In the final stages, the painting actually leads me to where it needs to go. At this point it becomes obvious that the painting has a life of its own with self-contained logic. To fully appreciate the work it should be viewed from a distance of four inches to twenty feet and everywhere in between. There is up close intricate detail as well as gestural and color relational movement to keep the viewer entertained for a long time through many viewings.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, 1946. Currently live on Strongs Neck, Long Island.I have a crystal clear memory of painting the wallpaper in my bedroom at age 3 using a toothbrush and a jar of vasoline petroleum jelly. I was, of course, severely admonished and didnt try to paint anything again until I was 5. I search through color and form for visions and revisions, chaos, resolution, redemption and radiance. I admire almost any type of painting if done well, honestly and from the heart. I am especially drawn to American Abstract Expressionism made popular in the 50s here on Long Island by such luminaries as De Kooning, Pollock, Krasner and Rothko.
