I knew if I was going to die, from the disease and cancer I developed, I would make a series of work that was bold and dynamic.I began this series of 10 new paintings with a six zone grid. I then made playful shapes and innovative compositions within each zone. The zones reflected, Politics, Religion, Power, Weakness, Impermanence and Growth. I then added Mood with layers of water based clears almost sublimating the surface. The shapes were colored with oil paint and oil Polyurethanes.
The drawings and cosmic shapes danced with energetic color.  This wasn’t a body of work that celebrated or dwelled in death, but rather explained life, and celebrated living and the joy of life through the lens of creativity.
