Figures, Flora, and Fauna

In this recent series of paintings I seek to depict familiar animal species from multiple angles to find new perspectives.  I’ve been exploring the line between realism and abstraction: moving each subject out of the context of its environment and using negative space and cast shadow to focus attention on movement, color and form.
