Have been reading New York Painting and Sculpture 1940-1970. A question came up about answering all the questions in a painting. If an Artist thinks he or she can answer all the questions in 1 painting alone. I think that is very difficult, As such I do a series of paintings addressing all the questions about a subject or non subject of the painting. Even then can one answer all the questions.

"GTS 8 Crimson Dawn" is the Continuing of the series "Geometric Tree Series". Oil on canvas.Painted 1.5" Edges,A very Dynamic painting to acquire for your collection. COA is in the works. GTS#10 is on the easel.

My Art style has evolved from Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism and Synthetic Cubism on the painterly side. Inspired by Mondriaan’s tree of 1910-11, I started the GTS series abstracting trees geometrically in early 1973 in high school and have ever since until now developing in synthetic cubism on the painterly side.

How can a painter answer all the questions in one painting hence painting in series; one painting is not enough to study a subject and or composition, colors in depth. Now I’m linking the series of paintings starting an idea in one, developing it in the next, and really studying the original idea. This is what I call painting a series.

Exploring how impressionist mixed colour on the canvas not the palette. In other words letting the eye mix the colour and studying the effects of light has been inspiration until now. I explore color, shapes, and compositions and the relationship of them with in the canvas. I’m increasing the energy and color of my paintings.

My long time interest in the vastness of space came as a subject for painting enhanced by the photos coming from the Hubble Space Telescope. These awe inspiring sights show new shapes and activities to be captured in oils on canvas. Star Quasar and Solar Nebula Series are the results in 15 paintings since 2008
