The second of two current commissions, this beast of a semi-abstract painting was a previous direction for me years ago. The theme and feeling is no longer about a landscape or seascape, but of an inner spiritual Light, the razor-edge patch of light on what appears to be a horizon…Heaven and earth, a hovering presence of the Divine.
A series I entitled, “Reemergence,” I was exploring fire and earth elements, underpainting, process, immediacy, and passages.
A series of four paintings I called “Smoke Signal,” from the first one (starting with a technique called “stippling”) to the fourth painting, they got increasingly gestural. This one, the third of the series, was a response to a Richard Diebenkorn exhibit of his “Berkeley” paintings at the De Young Museum in San Francisco.

The sixth of eight in a series, this semi-abstract painting was a new direction for me years ago. The theme and feeling is no longer about a seascape with a horizon, but of an inner spiritual Light and energy…Heaven and earth, a hovering presence of the Divine.
Another from the “Reemergence” series, further explorations into non-objective work — which undoubtedly pushed me into truly painting, responding to the layers of built up colors and energy.
