These paintings called Ensemble in Golds and Silvers, crosses the boundary of abstraction and contemporary realism. In this my goal was to utilize the techniques of sumi-e and other contemporary artists such as Helen Frankenthaler of the Color Field movement. The area around Ft George and Talbot Island are my favorite haunts for marshes and driftwood subject matter. I enjoy exploring the effects of primordial forces of time on the earth and its subjects.
I went to driftwood beach on Jekyll Island. It was beautiful! Definitely going back at a different time of day to get different colors! I can send pics if you'd like to see. Maybe I will try one for next painting. Hopefully not too difficult to tackle!
