Since the National Park Service has decided to charge over $60 per year “at all times” (used to be free Sept-June) to park at their beautiful, undeveloped Fort Tilden beach, I have moved the mile or so east over to Riis Park. More folks having very loud, obnoxious conversations on their mobile phones, but still a nice spot.

A new beach scene.
We all live under the sky, it permeates our being. Earth's atmosphere is a complex system of gaseous currents and vapor, but its also a void in a constant state of flux. Like nature, I love a good low pressure system and want to subsume its ethereal stratus.
Those subvisual fairies that inhabit my celestial psyche have become archetypal identities, swooshing and swooping about on the gusts of my windy art like seabirds hovering in a gale.

This piece turned out Cezanne-ish which was not by conscience intent.
Cezanne and Soutine's landscapes can reveal distortions in time/space that could be considered conduits to sub-visual dimensions.
Here I was interested in depicting a canopy of scrub arbors, but it became more of a tunnel-like composition, channeling the eye to a backlit glow. Perhaps a metaphor for some transcendent notion of unawareness.

From the ledges near Flye Point. There is a voluminously serene aspect to the scenery looking north towards Cadillac Mt over the narrows.

From our recent sojune Down East.
The dichotomy between representational and interpretive (non literal) composition represents a compelling narrative for me.
Reproducing an observed landscape within the context of recognizable semiotic orientation, keys in on a hand-eye spatial evaluation tool crucial to the practice of fluid and flowing draftsmanship.
However a less strictured approach to scenery allows for a freeing-up of improvisational content that may bring potent associative elements into play.
The image below was actually painted at 180°, and then flipped to switch top/bottom. This reorientation occurred as way to accommodate an unseen identity that popped into my awareness; Aeolus the Greek god of the winds (frequently seen huffing and puffing on old nautical charts).
Exploring the realm of intuitive mark making is nothing new in painting, but like snowflakes, no two brushstrokes are ever the same.

Maine, Labor Day weekend.
“Here is the first of about 10 plein air scenes from Maine during last weeks visit.
It was more of a challenge than I anticipated.
I figured I'd be ready to roll since most of my art output the last year or so has been landscapes, but Maine required some perceptual weight lifting.
This was the next to last piece I did during the 6 days we were there, and due to issues with my new 18" x 24" cheap watercolor block (unsized paper which makes layering water based pigment very difficult) I finally gave up and went back to my old 12" x 15" block.
I only took one day off, and painting everyday on the ledges in the hot sun was hard on my feet and derma.
But overall it was a fantastic opportunity to get back and immerse myself in the Down East environment, enjoy some peaceful quietude, lobster, and a spectacular full moon.”

Very challenging environment for plein air at Domino.
The scenery was spectacular verging on overwhelming. The sweeping vista of the East River surrounded by intricate architectural perspectives, was saturated by a wonderfully undulating, low hanging cloud cover.
Also had to dodge a couple of heavy rain squalls.
I condensed the scene a bit to fit the aspect ratio of the paper. Next time I might set up a diptych to stretch out the perspective.
Then there was the crowd; a raucous beach volleyball game nearby, many happy but noisy kids running about with loud parents trying to exercise their pergotives. Last but not least was the extremely buff, semi nude pushup performer with his video entourage doing one-handed presses on the next bench over!
Although I look forward to returning, Domino is to be avoided on weekends if you want any peace and quiet.

“Charon’s Obol”. 5th-1st century BC.
Bees sometimes appear as decorations on ancient “coin-like objects” or tokens.
One theory is that such discs (“Charon’s obols”) were magical artifacts buried with the dead to pay Charon, the boatman who ferried souls to the afterlife.

! is a playful riff illuminating a dichotomy inherent to the flux found in figure/ground relationships.
Semi-transparent layers of light blue, water-soluble tissue paper applied in broad swathes, establishes the “ground” perspective.
The darker green tissue paper cutout references a calligraphic form that morphs into a figurative configuration.
Drawing with pen and ink enacts a delicate “etching” effect, which connects and combines the compositional elements into a floatational dream-like stage scene.

This painting was a “Big Science” spin off.
String Theory had just begun to gain some momentum in quantum physics, and the Large Hadron Collider was being built.
This was well before the Higgs Boson was discovered, so the knock on String Theory was the lack of any empirical evidence to prove the viability of multiple massless curled up dimensions that vibrate at various wavelengths as precursors to matter.
They are so infinitesimally small that if an atom were magnified to the size of the solar system, a string would be the size of a tree.

I really got carried away during the 1990s. A large, cheap studio, and mostly part-time work on my art moving truck, allowed for a very prolific period.
In the most general terms I would describe a tendency in my chroma towards patina and chiaroscuro. I see the content as mostly abstract non-fiction, but delving into psychic theory.

Grindstone Neck is a wealthy Philadelphia Mainline enclave, with none to modest “cottages” spread about.
To their credit the little gem of a nine hole golf course is open to the public. Sternmen and society types might tee off together.
The rocky beach is also a public gem, but can get swamped on weekends.
Once when painting there a local lobsta-man clambered over the ledges and enquired “what ya paint’in?” He proceeded to tell me he’d seen me working earlier as he headed into nearby Winter Harbor on his lobster boat.
He was quite an extroverted character. Without much hesitation he insinuated himself into my art space, and asked if he could work on the piece with me.
I was flattered that a working guy with roots was so enthusiastic, but I politely and diplomatically dissuaded him. He didn’t seem too disappointed, and explained he was very happy that the lobsters were coming out of the rocks.

Mid/late 1970’s Watercolor & felt tip pen on paper 12” x 14”
“From a day well beyond memory's horizon except in the broadest of recollections.
My stepmother Jean used to rent a house on the Cape for a few summers right after she married my father in 1973 (I think), and before she bought her home in Maine.
One time I caught a big Black fish (good eating) and brought it back to the cabin's fridge for safe keeping.
When Jean (a rather proper French by-way-of-Vassar lady) found this hulking corpse of a poisson she was slightly horrified and (much to my disappointment) made me remove the head and tail before poaching the beast in white wine.”

“I have not worked with plein air pastels in many years. I mostly used them to beef up watercolor sketches as a final flare. However in certain circumstances I would only use OP's as a way to accentuate the immediacy of drawing.
On a warm day they can get particularly squishy, and the process evolves into finger painting. I hope Soutine would have liked this piece.”
