Lights series 1999-2000

Following the renaissance series I added a full palette of color and explored glazing and layers with my “Lights” series in 1999.

In this new direction the imagery began to have intent and to represent something as opposed to gestures and abstract forms and the brush became more disciplined.

I was always intrigued by the limitations of the visible color spectrum and how it relates to the audible spectrum of sound waves. Within this limitation of perception there lies unlimited variations and combinations.
