This is the beginning of a new series of paintings.  The subject is a collection of small disparate objects that I picked up only because I found the forms or colors appealing. I am interested in the simple act of pairing them together, exploring the push and pull of the juxtaposition and the formation of new meanings.

 This series of paintings began with a group of found natural objects that I painted from direct observation. These objects then influenced and became part of imagined landscapes based on memories of specific sites.
