This is a discarded scrap of old lumber I found in the trash. I has a very prominent wood grain and rough texture. I worked around both of these in my design. The painted shapes evoke some of the curves and gnarls and knots of the wood itself. The Storyboard Series functions as a diary or narrative. I painted a blue acrylic band around the wood, which suggests an abstract comic strip, although the strip is interrupted by two gaps where I've left raw wood showing as twin stripes. The blue band connects a row of tiny oil paintings, or "windows," as I call them. Each window provides a glimpse of a scene: sky, earth, sun, cell division, dusk. I am inspired by the landscape I see on my daily walks, as well as my own internal "mentalscape" of visual forms.

I create compartmentalized oil paintings on surfaces such as discarded wood scraps, prepared paper, or canvas. The paintings are what I call "mental landscapes" -- both evoking nature and an internal abstract world. I think of each compartment as a window -- a small glimpse of something bigger beyond the visible. The rows of painted segments represent time lapses, and may function sequentially like an abstract comic book. The segments often wrap around the surface, terminate unexpectedly and disappear. My studio is located on the dynamic Space Coast of Florida. I'm currently Professor of Art at Eastern Florida State College, where I teach Drawing, Painting, and Design.
