Tidal, 2014


The rise and fall of combined layers, made full by rotation.  When I work on a painting I feel it has to read full circle, just as the tide.

This tidal effect in painting is important for balance and composition.  It helps the eye move with grace and texture.  It can be complicated to do, which is why some of my paintings can stay incomplete for so long.

"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on one minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn"
