Call It Resonance

 Call it resonance, harmony, or serendipity,

I find it interesting when images in my studio,

photos, and paintings all seem to be following

a theme or direction of which I am unaware until I see them

all together. The photo above is a waxed paper

scrap with black gesso markings.

  This a photo of a wall of shuttered shadows

I took earlier this week.

And this is a painting I finished yesterday.

It is on a 30/24 wood panel, gesso, acrylics & charcoal pencil.

It almost seems as if I had to see the two images above

before I could paint  this, although they are all

very different, the gray colors and lines seem  to connect somehow.

I titled the painting  Le Cave. A place I paint from time to time.
