Paintings from residencies at Playa Summer Lake 2012 (4 weeks) and 2016 (2 weeks). In 2012 my goal for the residency was to move my work in a more abstract or intuitive direction. To explore painting the landscape in ways other than through representation. Notably, it resulted in a series of stripe paintings. Painting wet into wet oil to develop the colors I viewed in the landscape was a breakthrough - and continues to this day.
