My approach to my work is simple: NO WIMPY WATERCOLORS!

I like BIG colors and BIG shapes. And details? Details, schmetails! I’ll let other painters handle the fussy stuff.
For my entire painting life up to this point, I have worked strictly in transparent style, meaning that whatever is white in a painting is the paper showing through, to be faithfully preserved from the beginning. A true transparent watercolorist NEVER uses white or black paint. And I followed the code faithfully.

Well, something happened last November and now I’m working in what I call “Abstract Remodernism.” This means going nuts with lines and shapes and watercolor crayons and pencils AND black and white paint. I suppose I should be worried about going to watercolor hell for my sin, but what a way to go! I’m having a blast working with these new media which I had previously forbidden myself. The reins are off, and anything goes! And that’s what my brand of Remodernism is all about: being free and wild and not giving a damn if I can tell what it is as long as it feels good!
