"Art is long. Life is short. A picture can become for us a highway between a particular thing and a universal feeling." ~ Lawren Harris
STATEMENT
Statement
Brooms to needles minimal and surreal
Figures, horizons and spheres
Patterns with movement and ratios reveal
Pictures that pop with zeal
It starts with an idea then gester and sketch.
Execution on canvas "starts with a broom and finishes with a needle."
You find the painting by digging it out.
The image emerges whole.
