The glistening carapace of melon, squash, or orange. The warm brown color, the smooth perfection of the egg or cluster of eggs set off by the darker tan and encircling texture of their basket. Pitchers and glass bottles; dimension and repetition playing a quiet game. Transparency, translucence, pattern, shape. Wall, table, one or both, the perfect ground in place. These paintings are alters, little shrines, relevant to the deep experience of the universe.
