For the month of August
by appointment only
view the Fog Suite paintings
On the surface it might seem unseasonal for me to present fog paintings in the middle of bright sparkly hard-edged summer, but if you consider fog as metaphor for visible uncertainty, I’m sending these into the world right on time.
Shroud and veil, pearly glaze and smudged sketch, cloudy ivory and damp scarves, sunlight filtered through the atmosphere, defiant otherness and glorious trouble: the poetry of fog courtesy Mark Doty and his ‘fog suite’ poem.
During the month of August you can view the 25 works on paper I created which were inspired by this poem. I’ll have them hung in my studio in the order of the poem’s stanzas and you can read the text of the poem along with my visual interpretations. I’ve never used a poem as source quite like this before so I hope you can join up and experience the paintings in person.
25 new Fog Suite Paintings, original oil on paper, 30x22" will be priced at $500 each unframed. I will have a couple of affordable framing options available for an additional cost. Purchased paintings can be picked up at the studio or shipped on August 30.
