My smaller paintings that aren’t looking at the nature near my house are of local towers lit interestingly at sunset. Where I work, I am able to see the city laid out below me, catching the light of the setting sun, at all of times of the year. It’s enchanting. White towers turn whiter, or pink, or yellow. The sky dramatically contrasted against their hard angles with its soft clouds and bright blues.

These are some small format paintings that I did late last year. I’ve been exploring mixing collage into paint and the layering of shapes. The subject matter is mostly scenes from my commute, around town, and in the parks. I have been having fun playing with different levels of abstraction and control.
