In the morning I paint with watercolors on paper and in the afternoon—the oil painting. Living a a simple life. Everything evolves more quickly and authentically when in solitude.
It's traditional painting practice working within a consciousness of both Eastern & Western art focused on the touch of hand with brush using colored muds. Painting transparent layers works the surface up to a luminosity. Making a still yet active space.
Beeswax adds depth/translucency enhancing the luminosity present in the underlying linen ground (or paper). Final layers even the plane creating a seeing-through phenomena matting the reflective paint adding a depth.
I am inspired by skies and clouds, emptiness, color, the hand, brushes, early to mid-twentieth Century poetry, the focused intent of the Pahari miniatures, the great masters of painting, Indian and Western Classical music, brilliant fine surfaces filled with hovering, luminous clouds of paint imbued with life and the mark of being human.
