EXCAVATIONS: NEW ORLEANS PAINTINGS 2016-2020

I completed the 33 Paintings below during four years in louisiana, whose beauty always inspires.

it was the day *after* mardi GRAS 2016 when I found my way to bayou saint john. the city was quiet save for teams busy removing truckloads of beads, throws, crepe streamers and plastic cups headed for storm drains. A few days later I MADE a brick-red pastel scratching of a crescent moon. it hinted at the colorful exploration that followed: working mainly with acrylic, I covered canvases in reds and blues, then purples, golds and pinks, then turquoise, tangerine, teal and silver.

city park, audubon park and lake ponTchartrain provided many hours of peace to writE and think. figures began to appear in the paintings. eventually i was drawn to additional texture and started layering paint in swirls and circles. ‘INDEPENDENCE DAYS,’ THE FINAL PIECE, ENDED THE CYCLE AND CATAPULTED ME IN NEW DIRECTIONS.

details of each piece will appear with a click.
