Last winter, I flooded my canvases with vibrant primary colors which belied the monochromatic palette found in nature. My recent work betrays a personal torment: 2010’s long, hot summer has been especially punishing for this Midwestern artist who suffers from a terrible sun allergy. If I was able to escape into nature at all this summer, I had to lurk in the shadows of daylight or wait until near dark to gather inspiration. The color schemes of these summer works were necessarily cooler. Tonight’s foray into autumn with an extra-special harvest moon is especially welcome.
