This captivating artwork, rendered in bold, dynamic strokes, represents an evocative exploration of texture and color. The canvas is dominated by two primary hues, a rich blue and a vibrant red, which cascade across the surface in horizontal bands. The blue occupies the upper half, creating a sense of depth with its variations in tone, ranging from deep, almost navy in places, to lighter, sky-like patches, indicating a mastery of paint application and blending. The red in the lower section is equally compelling, offering a stark yet harmonious contrast to the blue. Interspersed within these vivid bands are subtle hints of white, contributing to the overall dynamism and movement within the piece. The artist's technique of applying the paint in thick, expressive layers creates a palpable sense of texture, inviting the viewer to linger and explore the details up close. This textural complexity is further enhanced by the visible brushstrokes, which meander and swirl across the canvas, providing a sense of direction and energy. The interplay of colors and the vigorous, almost frenzied application of paint speak to a spontaneity and emotional intensity that is both arresting and thought-provoking. Overall, this artwork stands as a testament to the power of abstract expressionism, capturing the viewer’s attention with its bold use of color and dynamic application, while leaving room for personal interpretation and emotional resonance. Its unique combination of texture, color, and form makes it a truly distinctive piece.

I have come to a realization about myself and my art. I am impatient and I have need for instant gratification. I get frustrated with time consuming traditional techniques and want to skip ahead to the end. It is for these reasons that I am a series artist. I like to experiment with new ideas until I am satisfied with the result then I move on to a new one. Sometimes the result can lead the next series. The inspiration for a lot my work is in the trying of the new techniques. Having freedom of expression and not being limited to one style of making art are paramount to my identity as an artist.
