No Looks Back: A New Painting /
I started this in 2023. I set it aside for several weeks. It didn’t feel finished. Now it’s done. I love the beautiful images of space that the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes are capturing. They fire my imagination. I am in awe of space. I try to combine the space imagery with futuristic or relatable, present-day themes.

2023 was a year of experimentation, sparked in part by a friend who suggested I try making some space paintings without the astronaut. I have always painted in series, exhausting possibilities; Travis’ suggestion helped break things up. It was a good call, and it pushed me in new directions.

Before 2022, I primarily worked with acrylics, spray paint, oil paintsticks, crayon and colored pencil. In 2022, I added watercolors. In 2023, I continued to work on my watercolor technique while adding pastels to the mix. I hadn’t used watercolors since college, pastels since I was a kid. I only wish I had more time to work on technique and explore all of the materials more thoroughly, nonetheless I do enjoy the challenge of adding new tools to the bag.

At the Heart of the Matter (When Black Holes Collide): a New Painting /
I continue to think about space, space travel, terraforming, stars and black holes. I read about AI and quantum physics when I have the time. Even so, I find it hard to wrap my mind around it. Why is it easier to comprehend a cell than a black hole? A black hole is infinitely larger. A cell is microscopic. Based on our understanding of the universe, and the physical world, one makes more sense to me.
It’s been a minute since I’ve handled a brush. I’ve been using oil paintsticks, oil pastels, pencils, pens, rags and erasers. The rags and erasers take the place of brushes.
