Red Command, gouache, 10 x14". c2009

Paul Nash

This painting has an element of mystery. It's from a series I'm working on about the color white. From working in watercolor I learned the practice of "saving the whites" and that has helped me. I'm creating and destroying the white simultaneously. I like the letter forms in a landscape format.This merging of abstract, intuitive elements and more visual elements can be seen in many artist's work, such as Paul Nash.
