A Recent Series

I never know for sure where a painting will go.  This started out to be another stone painting, but evolved into a clunky, boat-like shape that I somehow liked and decided to develop.  For me there is something poignant and moving about a boat out of water.  This piece has led to several other works with boat forms, shown below.  Click on the images to enlarge.

The conventional reading of space in these paintings is often subverted by various means to create a deliberately ambiguous environment.  I'm after an imaginative space, not a literal one.

I think these are fascinating Don. Space within and without the boat! You have some lovely layering of colour there too. This concept of space in paintings is intriguing me also. I am finding that part of my brain is dragging me back to literal all the time. Sometimes the only way I can crack it is to turn the painting upside down (figures and all) and work on it that way.

My favorite is Boating in Tokyo. I love the energy and madness of the brush strokes. Fantastic work.
