stateside

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

Richard Diebenkorn apparently aimed for ‘tension under the calm’
He also had a ‘rule’ on his wall that advised himself to ‘tolerate chaos’
