--------- Snapshots, spare

Paintings from the Snapshot series are fleeting encapsulations of people gathered together for various reasons.  While they are based on collages and studies pieced together, they suggest a single moment in time, captured like a snapshot. There’s often an undercurrent of sub story elements, with interpersonal exchanges and situations hinting at the psychology of human interactions in the compositions -->  Saturday Morning: in the hood, where a father and son encounter a couple relaxing and chatting on an outdoor bench.   Evening Activity: gossip and floral design where a trio of women gather, engaged in conversation while pursuing a pastime.  A cross section of beach lovers seeking relief from the heat of summer in At The Shore : pilgrimage and right of passage, and the melding of aficionados appreciating a surviving pastime in Entertainment and Amusement : summer fare, county fair.
