These watercolor/gouache paintings were completed in 2011.  The egg tempera paintings were done during the winter of 2012 and 2013.  In the fall of 2013 they were displayed together for a show of small works.

This from my 2011 journal:

“These watercolors (many of which appear so light and translucent, at times almost effervescent) are actually dense, torn, and worried. A watercolor can take an instant to complete, but these are taking longer. Often days of painting end in erasure and the finished image becomes a matter of resolving the shadows and ghosts of what’s been removed. Discovering that resolve before the paper fails to be scrubbed even one more time is a challenge. But what’s left is an image that feels to the eye sculptural.”
