Another turn in the Little Kimono series.

This one is for Dorothy, who is already a Habs fan at just a little more than two years old.

Tiny Kimono

These images are smaller than the Little Kimono, averaging about 3.25" x 3.25".
Like the bigger siblings, they are mixed media, relying mostly on collage and oil pastel.

Little Kimono

These images are a side trip for me. Each of these in the nearly square format is about 4.5" x 5". They are a departure in part because they rely heavily on collage, which changes the design process for me. I have produced about 20 and am continuing to work on the series..

Encore Kimono

Two more in the Kimono series.  These are untitled because I may continue to work on them, but this is the direction I'm going in.

Kimono

The following images are the latest results of an ongoing series of Kimono paintings which I have been working on for the past eight months. They are the byproduct of a show at the Vermont Arts Council's Spotlight Gallery earlier this year, which I devoted to the Kimono, and which gave me the opportunity to imerse myself in the problem of painting the Kimono. The later pieces seen here are less formally Kimono but share the basic structure while evolving or sliding into looser, more abstract treatments of this form. They are all part of the same family, although it may seem difficult to reconcile some of the more recent works with those done earlier.

They are what they are.

The exploration is not complete.
