Look Out, 2014, oil on paper and wood, 10x10 in.
“About two years ago, I began a transition
in my life that had a significant impact on these paintings. I felt the
reality of having moved from New York City to the Catskill Mountains in a
new way, realizing the impact it was having on my career as well as on
my sense of identity as an artist. At the same time, being just a
year away from turning 70, I was motivated to lose weight and improve my
overall health. Consequently, my former 185 pound body became a thin
115 pounds. I felt healthier, more energized, more animated, and more
confident. These changes have had a positive effect on this current body
of work, which I began in late spring a year ago. My work has always
reflected and expressed my internal life and, like myself, I feel the
new paintings are bold, bright, animated, and confident.”
