Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, wired and ready to hang. As with all of my paintings, "Those Were the Good Times" built up gradually like a mineral deposit. It changed mood and direction several times although it had always been a predominantly red piece. Although the general style is built upon the gestural freedom of abstract expressionism, a sense of depth formed and was allowed to develop. The rigid structural lines provide an eye-catching counterpoint to the mostly loose, flowing forms and in so doing seem to suggest meaning or direction. In many phases of its development the dominance of red gave it a volcanic, angry feel and I wanted to see if red could do anything else. It can be passion or vibrance as well and the color harmonies that developed around it really helped to bring that out. So I ended up with "happy red". As with most abstract artists, my paintings are often an amalgamation of many experiences and impressions flowing through the same space, much like thoughts in one's head. In this case the title is a wistful homage to good times past. Birthday parties, fun filled summers, and first loves, in a grand chorus of celebration.

For me each new painting is a journey into the unknown, and in that way a metaphor for life. I have no idea what lies ahead, how I will get there, or if I will succeed. The journey unfolds a little at a time, slowly revealing to me which path to follow. Each journey is different, not only in outcome, but also in technique. I use all manner of media including pens and pencils, crayons, acrylics and spray paint. I like to create a visual wonderland full of energy and mystery. Serendipity and the natural laws of physics with which liquid paint behaves are significant contributors to my creative process. It is as if I am a conductor, orchestrating forces of nature. The power of accident forces me out of my own limitations and prejudices, and causes me to have to reach further into myself for bigger and better solutions than I could have imagined from within my comfort zone. Sometimes acting out in frustration is the very thing that leads to a breakthrough. Another key factor in my artistic style is the pareidolia affect. The human mind strives to find recognizable patterns everywhere the eye gazes. Denied a recognizable form, the imagination goes into overdrive and actually imposes some kind of image or meaning onto the painting that is not actually there. In my work, forms are suggested but left largely undefined to elicit an imaginative response from the viewer. In some ways this makes each viewer have a uniquely personal experience, and is thus a contributor to the creative process.
