I am working on a series of remembered and imaginary landscapes. 
I am trying the capture the sense of rapture, stealth and vulnerabilty 
of being out of doors at night. There is a specific type of summer 
night I keep coming back to: the coolness of the grass and the sound 
of crickets and coyotes. I think right now in my life painting is a 
kind of escape, and there is a very literal escapism to these paintings. 
They are a little window on a place to roam; to intoxication, freedom, 
and fear.
