Description of work: The work is a series [Cold+Sun] of 15 paintings that form one composition; 5 canvases across and 3 canvases vertically. Sections of the 15 paintings can form smaller compositions in a row of 5 canvases, a grouping of 6 or a group of 9 canvases, and at the same time, each canvas is its own composition, not requiring the next piece to be complete. The overall series is 100" wide by 60" high.
This series is filled with complexities of color, reflection, mixed media textures, collage and composition, while emerging as a simple landscape image that is reminiscent of winter sun glistening into the Great Lakes. The Colors and contrasts change with the perspective of the viewer's position, implying motion to the surfaces. Calmness and power reside together.
