The fires are inundating us with smoke, so I’m in the studio finishing up some older paintings that didn’t quite make it on the first go. This one is inspired by the windy bluffs on the oregon coast.
In April 2017 I started using Sumi and Chinese black calligraphic ink to do some experiments for a new series of paintings. After a few simple tests I realized that the medium of ink in water had such a rich world of possibilities that I needed to explore it further.
