About the Item: "I have been painting seriously for somewhere around 35 years, but have only ever sold regionally - most recently, through my gallery on Magazine Street in New Orleans. Through online platforms I am now (thankfully) able to reach a worldwide audience and am selling paintings to collectors in places like London, Madrid and Beirut, which is gratifying to me. So I have begun to reserve some of my work to offer online first. In my paintings, I use a variety of media - nearly always acrylic, but often wax, house paint, watercolor pencil, tar and other materials. This series of paintings is primarily about the color, line and surface quality, which have always been my chief interest. The "objects" are mostly something to wrap the paint around. I am as interested in the negative space as the positive, and spend a lot of time on the layering, taking out and covering up, wiping and scraping, modulating color, texture and sheen, to get it where I want it. I have fingers in the paint as often as brushes. Influences of certain 80s painters such as Julian Schnabel and contemporary painter Gary Komarin are showing here. Should you have any questions, please leave them here - I really enjoy corresponding with my collectors."
