Coral Prints - at Mecox Dallas

Love the branching structure of coral.  It's like underwater trees without the leaves.  In beautiful colors.  These prints are done in lithograph and liquid tusche in order to enhance the watery image with a watery medium.

 

Fluidity

In these two paintings, I'm working with the concept of how we interpret color and pattern.  Scientists have lately understood the human interprets visual information in two different parts of the brain: line in the ancient, fight or flight mode, and color in an evolutionarily newer area of the brain.  I observe that line supersedes color in the interpretation and visual experience of an art work.  I'm happily exploring this idea while manipulating my paint to stress its fluid properties.

Litho workshop

Kathryn Polk came to Brookhaven as a visiting artist in December to give a color lithography workshop.  This print and its companion are the result of learning more about smart plates and color litho.

Majestic diversity

Flowers are possibly nature's best imagination.  They come in all kinds of crazy shapes and colors, yet we still call them simply, flowers.
