Reservoirs

Landscapes emerging from my pours and suminagoshi methods have become, for some reason, irresistible of late. From the beginning, the uncertainty of a pour and the beautiful “waterfall” opportunities captured me. They may be discovered and developed through creativity that is alert to all possibilities and this process seemed a helpful metaphor for our pandemic climate. However, more recently the focus of the paintings has migrated to the source of the flow— the reservoirs from up and far away that feed our hope. They remind me that when I feel helpless and my energies are spent, blessing comes from someplace my eyes cannot see. Reservoirs of grace and hope.
