Tell The Truth But Tell It Slant Painting

While hiking in the North Cascades last September, I emerged from the woods onto the banks of the Skagit River, and a beach covered in beautiful river stones. The Skagit is the largest and most biologically important river draining into Puget Sound. It is the site of a major salmon run, as well as the largest feeding site in the country for the American eagle, which feeds on chum salmon on its riverbanks from December to February. The Skagit is of critical importance to the survival of Puget Sound Orcas, whose main source of food is the chinook salmon who migrate to their breeding grounds via the Skagit. I immediately envisioned large-scale paintings to dramatically capture the natural beauty of these stones. I've emphasized the abstract shapes by exaggerating scale and chroma. I'm particularly fascinated by their ellipses and the energy-filled interstices between them. Each composition is an exploratory tour through its own little world.
