I approach painting with an open mind and spirit, hoping to get involved with a mood or feeling that will bring forth an experience that can be expressed in an exciting way. To me this is mood painting, purely expressionist, and in this painting I have tried to express the restlessness of both nature and society and the unsteady state of turbulence that can be created by both. A Mist of Heavy Water came about with the idea of working as a reductionist, placing limits on both imagery and color to create a liquid space while working towards simplicity of form and color. The physical flow of the paint and its viscosity helps to determine the tactile feeling of the color as well as the final structure of the work. Simply said, the color and the feeling of the painting creates a mood, a particular type of space, as well as a place, while evoking a response in the viewer.
