Just for fun, next time you look at a painting try to find something that the artist did purposely to grab your attention. Look for lost edges. I remember conversations I had with my Dad* about composition. Also, I remember the first time he talked to me about weaving the painting together as if it were a tapestry. He said all the parts of the painting must fit together to create a whole. And, yet, each part must be interesting and meaningful on its own.“Just A Taste”, New Painting

Conversations About Figure and Ground
Imagine going to an art walk, reception or opening event. Paintings are your passion.
You are dressed with distinction and elegance.
You walk into the well lit gallery space. You hear the sweet sounds of a string quartet playing Bach, Mozart or Vivaldi. Or, perhaps classical guitar.
