Embodying movement, lighter colors, ample space between elements, these two pieces (Expanding I and II) appeared one Saturday afternoon in the studio. I had no expectations, and allowed them to swim within a creamy background, resisting the urge to fill in all of the empty space with details. These bulbous natural forms, reminiscent of seed pods and stone structures, are layered with hints of shapes beneath and beyond, and of warp and weft stripes at play. There is a feeling of new beginnings in these two paintings. Hints of sap green can be glimpsed peeking through, with promises of health and wellbeing ahead.
