I really love the transparencies, the layers of rich browns and blacks .... then the daring of combining those somber tones with purples. This is wonderful work, someone I did not yet know. It reminds me of Jasper Johns tracing Cézanne (see http://artistinanaframe.blogspot.com , the Nov. 27 2011 entry for more on that). There is a lot of energy here!! Thanks for bringing Jensen's work to us.
