I have been painting on the majority of the same boards over the past 10+ years. Some perhaps 5 years, some 20 years worth of addition and subtraction. They are painted over, sanded off, added to, painted over again, and often made a white surface anew. I have been using the image transfer process since 2002, but mostly matte medium transfer has been my transfer process. I conjure the images in Photoshop, sometimes with minimal touches, based on photos I've taken. 

Recent work involves using the transfer process to apply grids to prepared boards or as a veil over improvised abstract doodles. I see these mostly as meditations, and therapeutic exercises. They are also a vehicle for re-engaging the art community, as I have been applying to juried exhibitions and calls-for-entry.

The genesis of this 10-part series wasn't some grand artistic vision, just a simple desire to spruce up my bathroom. I envisioned three or four pieces, nothing complex, just basic patterns and vibrant hues to enliven the space. Layer upon layer of paint was applied, then sanded smooth, a ritual of creation.

Leftover paint, a testament to my initial misjudgment, spurred the series' expansion. Discarded pieces became canvases for impromptu doodles, and experiments in color and form. The dissatisfaction with those first four pieces led to a breakthrough—the imposition of grids, a framework for controlled chaos.

Color was introduced, not with calculated precision, but with an aleatory spirit, a dance of chance. A select palette, each color applied to each piece in a rhythmic cycle, a measured progression towards a desired density. (I used AI, using the prompt 'rewrite in the manner of K. Michael Hayes.)

The following are completed, near completion, abandoned, future to be repurposed, and otherwise.
