In these interior paintings, the still life is present, but the environment or space is the event I strive to paint. These paintings, created primarily in my basement studio, have evolved slowly over the twenty years since this project began. Interiors encapsulate many of my core artistic interests namely, complex lighting constructs, opportunity for a long duration of observation, geometric structure, a human element and implied narrative, subtle variations of color, conveyance of a mood, a modicum of control, a rich history, and the challenge of sorting out spatial/perspectival aberrations at close range.
