The title ‘stateside’ really has nothing to do with these 2 paintings. It’s just that I have an exciting trip planned to San Francisco and New York for the end of the month. The excitement is boosting my energy levels so I am painting rather furiously. Also, I have Richard Diebenkorn on my mind as I will be staying in Berkeley and will try to see as many of his paintings as I can

I love the intensity and vigor in these paintings.
Thanks. Their final coat was painted with an element of frustration. I had been working on some smaller, tighter pieces that weren’t working! And I decided these large pieces were strong enough to let me a) use black which is unusual for me and b) work very loosely and quickly and intuitively.
Well, I really like them and I think your intuition is leading you to some great places.
Enjoying the energy here.

There are also nice buildings in Berkeleley designed by Julia Morgan
Will look out for them, thanks š
