    Description

    I hate to waste! So when I peel dried paint from pallets to start work sometimes the "work" (fun) is to find critters and humanoid figures in the peels. Many variables affect how the paint comes off: humidity, temperature, the surface of the pallet (glass or plastic being the usual), and my patience. I started by setting shapes I liked on plates and making a background later. But they stick so nicely when they first come off, if they're not too dried out, that I wanted to have backgrounds ready for them. This one happened that way. Paint peels placed in relationship -- facing one another or walking in the same direction, or looking up at a bird -- can create a wood, attitude, posture, attire, even personality. I feel like a child playing with Colorforms (anyone remember?) and Mr. Potato Head. To me these two have great dignity, student and spiritual teacher intent and open. The trivial is far below.

    Concept

    Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
    The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
    Hath had elsewhere its setting
    And cometh from afar;

    So wrote Wordsworth. I create to remember, to go home to that far place and bring light specks from it here. I began to paint after dreaming I was painting. The process is a meditation, the products a moment or a message that settles me in that place of light. Self taught, I’m led by dreams and images seen in meditation. Color and form, like nature, are great teachers. As a writer I’ve striven and published in most genres. Coming later to painting I know to focus: with abstracts I express the depths and the heights. With practice I resist running after figures and faces. If they creep or peek back in, so be it. I welcome all.
