Attractive
and Intriquing
Particularly, I am attracted to the beautiful ‘Round Midnight and
Stratus Blue. I am partial to the ocean, and to a clear moonlight, that
is evident in the former work. When the paintings are viewed together,
one can see the ‘Round Midnight cloud’s shadow sunk to the
bottom of Stratus Blue as a kelp-like form.

Adrift is appropriately blurry,
and Hurricane Watch’s shutters seem to
be flapping to the coming storm. Both are realistically recognizable, fully-colored,
and thoroughly-composed.
Earthly Gasp is an inspiring luminescent vision of a golden flight into
a golden field.
Hanging Chad and Urban Sky are attractive for the
minimized realizations of their themes.
Speed of Light 2 is composed of a two-dimensional surface in three-dimensional
visual perspective, above a one-dimensional bar. Both are suspended in
a fuzzy multi-dimensional field. The field is both foreground and background,
with all gradations in between. That field is a world where dimensions
are indistinct and one.
The most intriguing work is Crevasse Rouge. Here the painter has presented
a pure image having no template in reality. It defies description with
words because it references neither an object, nor a letter, nor a symbol.
Thus, analogous to Speed of Light 2, it perhaps shows object, letter,
and symbol as indistinct and one. A conceptual world where boundaries
among the three are indistinct transcends the limiting constructs of
the intellect.
