More often than not, my paintings are worked on in layers ... spanning the course of several painting sessions.

While experimenting, the patterns in this painting reminded me a net, hence the name "leap and the net will appear", which is a favorite quote of mine from John Burroughs.More often than not, my paintings are worked on in layers ... spanning the course of several painting sessions.
