My window series is evolving from older paintings that I want to reclaim. After studying the old painting and choosing favorite parts, I set the work on the easel and start working, leaving the best areas showing. In this way, "Bathrobe" grew from a painting of a garden; a view of the ocean surf became "Bedroom Mirror"; one version of the guest room became the next "Guest Room". I find these paintings exciting: they grow from something else, and so they have a depth of layering that becomes complex, elusive, and intriguing.
