 Ellen's View            30x48"            thrown and splattered paint on canvas        2022

 Ellen's View is a painting taken from a photograph an artist friend sent to me from Hawaii. Her story of the spot was compelling enough for me to want to paint the image she not only sent, but portrayed in her telling. I tried to capture her peaceful story and that little bit of reflection on the water (using a long throw using a stick).

Shin Shin means the quietness of the snow falling, the soundless quality of quiet. When I was first painting the cherry blossoms series, I became stuck on the image of the trees. A Japanese artist friend of mine, told me, it's not about the image of the tree, or blossom, it's about the storm of blossoms as they drift slowly through the air and towards the ground. That artist friend is  named, Rin, her name means the sound inside of a bell when it's not being rung. The stillness... ShinShin.
