Works in Asphalt and Alkyds

Where blacks and whites
make beauty of
the grays of life. These paintings were created in a traditional manner, using wood stretchers with heavy gessoed canvas, however that is where the tradition ends. I use asphalt and alkyd as my primary mediums. I have chosen asphalt because as asphalt’s nature is volatile and has the potential for unexpected change. So life, eve

r changing brings both good and ill. Asphalt, smooth and shiny, also reflects the colors of its surroundings. We likewise, in our personal journey we reflect the “colors” of our experiences. The alkyds provide some chemical changes and instability to the work. On occasion, color is added to signify some emotional element, to demonstrate the very nature of redemption of a particular situation. The black, white, and shades of brown and gray invite us to deal with the ambiguities of life. As maturity softens my interpretation of life, these intensely personal abstractions are changing my style to reflect mercy not judgment; reconciliation not alienation; and mediation rather than conflict. My paintings are fluid and express grace and forgiveness that must flow between humans if they are to remain free.
