"The Past Claws Its Way Out" - oil on canvas, 15 x 30 x .75 inches. Ready to hang.

“I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.”
― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

Using color to capture the concept of listening to ourselves and others; immersion into a natural scene with colors conducive to vulnerability and joy.Exploring the surprising and unexpected impact of color - in this piece, pink is surprisingly sorrowful.  As we expect pink to be "sweet", it catches us off guard and allows the painting inside before we can put up our defenses.Exploring the abstraction of a romantic moment - capturing the intimacy of an embrace, a kiss, the notion of stopping time.Exploring the intersection of the bold colors of Fritz Scholder with the futuristic illustration style of Jean Giraud in a mash-up which asks more questions than it answers.
