"The Violet Hour" at Fountainhead Gallery

     I will be exhibiting a small group of recent paintings at Fountainhead Gallery in Seattle for the month of March, along with featured artist and fellow landscape painter Christine Gedye. The paintings are part of my ongoing investigation into the border between reality and imagination as it applies to nature scenes, and some technical experimentation in color and texture. The dream, daydream, meditation, or fleeting thought at the edge of perception can paradoxically put us more in touch with our surroundings. I am particularly interested in what happens in the transition from daylight to dark and the effects of low light on vision. In some of the compositions I represented this phenomena with a violet underpainting (a hue that can easily shift from warm red to cool blue), which inspired the title The Violet Hour.
     There will be an opening reception on Saturday, March 7, from 5 to 7 p.m. and the exhibit will be up until March 29. For more information go to Fountainhead Gallery.
