I WANT TO CAPTURE YOUR CITY


There is an excitement of the city that is often over looked. These are the structures of our culture that sore to the sky with intimate details of our lives. They embody our energies with moments of magic.
It is so fast an encompassing with all aspects of time; the past, and present with the hoped for future.
For what is real? The surface or the reflection on it, or is it the space that we enter beyond the façade of the building.
I paint with that frame, trying to capture the connective moment. As the light reflects the distant forms, defines space, capturing insights into our inner being, stirring those untapped levels of our humanity.
Didn’t know it could look like that.
I can smell the color and hear the walk, the rhythm of the city, blasting like a big band moving in and out of a harmonic discord breathing a dynamic pulse of the moment.
It’s real. It’s real.

Didn’t see it before, but I got it now.
