Abstract Skyscape Series
I returned to painting in 2017 principally because I felt it was the right medium for me to express the emotional impact of atmosphere.
Through 2019 I completed 40 abstract skyscapes in acrylic and aerosol media on flat, concave and convex acrylic and aluminum panels. Below are a few examples of this work. None of these are taken from photographs nor represent actual cloud phenomena. My intent is to represent the ethereal nature of the sky and express its emotional impact free from context. These paintings are purposely matte and without texture, thus enhancing the illusion of the sky and clouds as one approaches the paintings.
