The first painting of what has become the Weathered Series, an ongoing painting style/project. These paintings represent a collaboration with the outdoor elements. By leaving a canvas on-site, outside, for 3 months to even a year, there is time and space for the unanticipated to happen. 

I visit and work on the canvas multiple times where it is placed and then bring it inside to the studio to finish the conversation.  It is a different take on plein-air painting, which has always been a part of my oeuvre.
