"My work explores the connection between the artist and the model, the energy exchanged between the two. It's about emotional response, tactile, visceral, abstract, created with a limited color palette, leaving the brush strokes and drips raw and unrefined. It's as much a conversation as a picture, a snapshot of emotion, a thread running between the observer and the observed. Connective Tissue."

Fascia No.1

Fascia No.1 Oil on Canvas 12" x 24"

The first paint­ing in the Fas­cia series is actu­ally three lay­ers and six paint­ing in one. The base is a sketch done at Hip­bone Stu­dio dur­ing the longterm pose. The sec­ond is the tor­sos of my friend Amanda dur­ing a ses­sion at my stu­dio. The final layer s from Todd Leninger’s, a long term pose with Lau­rel. This is the foirst time that I used tape and lay­ered on of my trip­tychs. This was a three hour add on pose with only a few other painters in the stu­dio. I moved from left to right, paint­ing three dif­fer­ent views of Laurel’s face. I like the results, it’s strange how the ges­tural lines on the base line up with the facial contours.
