These paintings were created between 1983 and 1995 by the application of pastel crayon and powdered pigment blended by hand - literally.
It was a bit like finger painting. I went through a lot of GOJO hand cleaner.
I made all of these from observation, but I played with the forms and perspectives to create abstracted versions of what I observed.
In some cases I also included imagined images based on concepts related to my subjects.
