These recent works are variations on aerial landscapes.  Google Earth has made astronauts of us all.  I find it endlessly fascinating to float virtually over the globe, studying the natural organic forms of the earth's surface.  The relationship of macro to micro is inescapable:  viewed from above, a twining river fans out across a vast delta in perfect replica of the network of arteries running down my arm.  I'm especially intrigued by those points of intersection where we humans leave our mark, imposing our own geometry of patterns on the land. 

Although the forms in these paintings are abstracted and color is freely invented, their underlying structure  remains true to the actual places.  In other words:  I didn't make these designs up--they already exist in the world.

This painting will be in a group exhibition opening this weekend called "Simply Red (2)", celebrating the grand opening of the new Mark Woolley Gallery in Portland, Oregon. The gallery is on the 3rd floor of Pioneer Place, 700 SW 5th Avenue. I'll be at the opening on Saturday, April 21st, 5-9 PM--hope to see you there. Sounds like it will be quite a party...Mark says, wear RED!

The painting is part of an ongoing series of works I've been doing off and on for over 25 years, inspired by the human and animal motion studies of 19th century photographer Eadweard Muybridge.
