Three new small paintings. These abstract landscapes express the light and weather of spring, using Prussian blue, yellow ochre, and burnt siena. I enjoy tonalism and limited palettes. I like to select some variation on the primary colors, or even just one color – Prussian blue is a favorite. The limitation does an end-run around my over-thinking and perfectionism and lets me get kind of Zen with light, shadow, and mood. It’s a liberating restriction.
