IMAGINATION: These are images that fell out of my dreams and imagination and are not based on direct observation or photos. Some of the works shown here are from a series nicknamed "The Blobs".  I started by making various patterns and shapes, moving around oil paints using sprayed water, dribbled solvent, puffs of breath, tipping the canvas and other interventions.  My goal was to discover a picture in each of the layered patterns, to mostly let the painting tell me what it wants to be.  This is like looking for images in clouds or Rorschach patterns.  All are oil on canvas.

This series could alternatively be titled "My Brain on COVID", because that was my reality as this series got rolling around the New Year of 2023.  I was not feeling all that bad, just forced to be alone with my imagination.  Gravity need not apply.
