There seem to be so many layers to your style. At first glance, one may simply see the piece of bark. Upon revisiting the work they may notice the stroke, the surface, and the framing. Lastly, they project their own connections and emotions onto the work. I liked how you explained it, "The painted image, therefore, is not simply a copy, but an extension of the conscious experience itself: a recording of neither image nor action alone, but of the integral relationship between the two." This particular piece has an almost watercolor aesthetic to bring out the feel of faded old photographs. Interestingly, you have re-recorded a previously recorded moment, attached to a antecedent perspective.

I am in awe of the way that you are able to manipulate oil paints.  You're able to paint delicate feathers, dense wood, and intricately detailed faces in the same medium.  I appreciate your commitment to all things natural, from the rough edges of the paper to the wooden matting surface. Was it intentional that the inanimate objects you chose were once alive as well?
