Finger Paints... Envisioning

“Finger Painting” is a series of images made with my fingers on the ipad using the “paper” app. The images are usually made early in the morning, or late in the evening, and are the vision of the events of my days. The wildfires in Texas had dominated my thoughts for a time, and the images are the result of both firsthand observations, memories of fires in the prairie where I grew up, and of news images. The land here is Texas is big...and bright... The one who holds my heart and I drove a thousand miles one weekend, and barely left Texas. The images of fields and green and buttes all come from that trip. We drive South every few weeks, down little country roads where the sun always seems to be setting. There is a stand of Live Oaks on the left, and the sun is always resting on the horizon to the right. That image stays with me still. I hope you’ll try painting, just let your fingers do the work, like in kindergarten, sometimes magic appears...
