The beginning of a series of figurative abstractions I continue to work on to this day, these oil on paper paintings began in 2001 as a series 150 mono-prints. Reworked with oil paint and fine brushes in 2005, many became carefully completed compositions. In 2009 I reinvented them again, this time using oil sticks and a more spontaneous approach. This last month I got the portfolio out again and reworked 10 of the remaining 21 paintings one last time.
