Wave Rider

SOLD
A rodeo dynamo
surfing waves of sunshine
through a calypso glow
Inspired by Josef Albers’ Homage to a Square series,
these minimal, abstract expressionist originals radiate the Joy of Summer all year long.
I introduce each work in the video above.
You can watch it while looking at the paintings on this page.
Each painting is one line drawing through 4-5 layers of acrylic paint.
The 12” square works are on cradled wood panels in white float-frames.
24” & 20” squares are on canvas
From cool water, to green forests, to heatwaves and passionate love,
this series is a tribute to Summer.
May these thick, abstract expressionistic paintings resonate throughout the year!
