PAINTING WATER
Movement and fluidity is an element in all of my paintings, drawings and prints. It is also the very nature of water itself. Can I capture the sense of movement? Living on Cape Cod so close to water I frequently visit and explore the beach. The experience is always refreshingly unique. I always see something new that leads me towards introspection. The correlations of nature and life itself can be overwhelming. I am always intrigued by currents of water that leave their traces in the sand. But it is temporary and transient and will be swept away and lost in the next tide. Like life itself, we move from one place to another leaving a trace only to be retained as a memory, because time itself has swept it away.As a gallery artist with the AMZehnder Gallery in Wellfleet the series has continued with a body of experimental painting on metal using encaustic, cold wax and mixed media.
