Part of the current series of paintings using tar and house paint in addition to more conventional artists' media such as oil and acrylic. Artist's Statement: "I have been making these painting beginning with a basic form using tar, a materials I worked with way back that I have begun using again because of its extraordinary beauty and physical principles. Then I go in with oil and acrylic, and generally use the house paint to flatten the surface and add to the negative space, reducing the more solid forms that push forward. As you can see, this painting is built up with many layers. I have been using a very limited color palette, but I painted this as the coronavirus was raging, and gave myself a little latitude in search of light."
