Off of the Red Wall, 2019

Daily Brushes began as drawings/paintings on the surface of either an iPad or iPhone using the app, Brushes Redux.  The drawing program allows the user to import photographs stored on the phone and is more direct and intuitive than working on a desktop in a program such as Photoshop.  Painter, David Hockney, made the original Brushes program popular when he used it to make drawings in the field. Similarly, my works are often made in conjunction with the photographs while still on site or close in time to the original photograph. In that sense they are more like sketches and they combine my interest in both the still life and landscape. The works in this series have many layers of imagery creating a still life that is not separate from nature, but one that emerges from the natural world.
