Particles #4 Painting

I've studied Zen Buddhism for many years and have a deep appreciation for the concept of holding space both figuratively and literally: space to breath, space for what's next, space to allow things to come together and fall apart and back together again. These works are both deceptively simple and complex; creating the layered effect and sense of depth and dimension takes time, patience, and more planning and thought than one might think while still leaving ample room for spontaneity and for the materials, colors, and application to surprise and speak. This series is also influenced by my study of quantum physics; matter is energy and our reality is made of waves and particles blinking in and out and back again. In viewing these works I hope one ponders are these bits of energy coming together? Coalescing? Orbiting one another or on the verge of flying apart? All my current works are painted using premium, studio-quality paints and canvas mounted to a 1/8 inch thick masonite board, then coated with an isolation barrier and sealed with a gloss varnish making the colors pop. Your painting is shipped with a 1" floating frame I build myself, typically from Alder wood, then hand-stained black. Your painting arrives with hanging hardware installed, and ready for you to hang and enjoy! There is no charge for the framing.
