For the Trees

By mid-summer of 2021 published a digital catalog showing what I had created.

The range of works on paper, wood panel, and canvas comprised a variety of sizes and shapes, from 6" x 12" to 24"x 48." Using many techniques to create layers of depth, pattern, and color, I depicted an essential "treeness" in the series without a literal image of a specific tree.

I enjoy seeing trees for their beautiful abstract qualities. When I focus on the shapes between their twisting branches, they become drawings in the sky.

I began an exploratory project to express this thought in a series of paintings in the winter of 2020. The formal qualities were first captured in field sketches but ultimately painted from memory.

The following selection shows the breadth of this work with a few pieces still available for purchase.
