Paintings In Order of Stations



Select for larger image.

The paintings follow the form of the Stations more than the specific content.

My own figure who I've called Crispin after the Wallace Stevens poem, The Commedian with the letter "C". It is about the impossibility or difficulty of this type of depiction. The figure blends with a Walt Whitman like representation walking the Bay Beach wondering or wandering through the reeds, leaves or grass.

It's finally about the painting. Here there is a mystery of different spaces-- colliding and ordering themselves, into positive and negative surfaces.
