I recently went to the Glenstone Foundation Museum in Potomac, Maryland. It is a vast and beautiful estate with modern installations and breath-taking grounds. One of my friends who went with me asked me afterward if I'd found anything that influenced me. I wasn't sure at the time and didn't realize how much had stuck with me until I started to paint. It wasn't the art collection as much as the environment and architecture.
These four paintings are on the large size compared to my last post. And they are done in a looser style, more spontaneous, lots of layers. I can't explain the difference in approach in any other way except for my mood, and again, maybe the trip to Glenstone.
