I think your paintings are wonderful. I love the way you have painted the cellular images-- and the one in the shape of the heart is particularly neat. Stay with it.
Your paintings really pull me in, and am so glad your mother's newsletter linked to your blog! Just got back from Pt. Reyes, and it amazes me that the rocks on the beach and the patterns elsewhere in nature, including what you've captured, are similar in both macrocosmic and microcosmic levels. So glad your paintings use those patterns in such an organic way so that we can stop for a moment and reconnect with that very basic beauty.
I just had a chance to see your paintings in person and they are wonderful. You can't really see the jewel like effect of each brush mark, building up in a three dimensional way, in a photograph. They remind me a little of Native American bead work or lace making, or a number of other human activities that are done just for the beauty of it. You can sense the time spent in making them. At Triangle Gallery, Rachel and I just stared at each individual painting for much longer than we would look at a painting ordinarily. They draw you in.
