Original artwork description:

Birch wood panel was formerly a shelf.
Wood sealed with amber shellack before painting.
Panel itself has the thin 1/4 inch profile of a plywood sheet but the cradled structure to which it's attached suspends and stand the piece off the wall 1.5" lending it a floating appearance.
It is ready to hang.

Improvised gestural abstraction is a cathartic practice involving balance, weight, temperature and tone. It is a dance of movement generating movement. The animated mark making at the time of painting remains an animation in constant motion.

Materials used:

oil on shellacked wood
