I am continuing to explore the depth and motion possible in a two dimensional surface. This summer the palette knife became my primary painting tool on canvas.  I begin with an underpainting suggestive of landscape or human figure. Layering paint and colour is mesmerizing for me as dimensions appear and become obscure again.  The Tibetan influence appeared again in three recent paintings. This time, the suggestion of swooping lines of prayer flags formed frames around sections of the paintings, creating miniature worlds within each frame. (click to enlarge)
