My pallette table with a beam of direct light

the slop house

as seen from a different perspective , everything changes. an idea that goes into the mandala’s

about 15 layers, the last a light glaze to push everything back so i can use it as negative space, but it is more dynamic than a solid color

“sunset” with a gold glaze, the glaze pushes everything back

the painting wraps around to the wall

the sunrise painting as it progress’,  getting layers that are subsequently covered, but still some remnants of the first layer can still be seen. in L.A. the sun rises from the desert mountains.

the base for the “sunset” painting.  the idea is to have a unimbellished sunset as the base layer hidden behind the city. in L.A. the sun sets on water

photo of my pallette. i am using these pure pigments in glazes to build the background colors

nice negative space. darkness and light. a door of light in the darkness

Layer upon layer of buildings
