… What it means
is, what it’s showing is, there’s this unseen
eye, on the inside. And she’s marking it.
It’s how the X that says where treasure’s at
is not the treasure, but as good as treasure.—
Vague Portraits is a collection of self-directed abstract portraits; covering the middle ground between vibrant fragmentary bodies to strange abstract associations – some almost cartoonish.
Regardless of medium each loose portrait (mostly pastel, some time acrylic or marker) begins on paper and evolves there in a free-form manner. Each portrait is imaginary, so technically incorrect and distorted. Using fearless, uninhibited painterly strokes a face bursts from the canvas; spirited and wild in form and shape.
I am in the process of resurrecting my galleries.
Click on the “☛ Gallery!” in the menu running across the top of this page to find the new Vague Portraits Gallery in the listing.
Additional listed galleries will be added while I continue dusting each category. The next galleries will be the return of an “Otherly – Pastels Gallery.”
