Texture and 2012

Oak II and Midwest were some of the last abstracts completed in 2012.

The paintings intended to allow each color of paint to flow freely with and against each other.  With Oak II, the weight, angle and flexibility of the canvas allowed for this formation to build.   

In addition to the outcome in form, huge attention of this oversize piece is put on the details that build the surface...
