Unfinished Purdah

I’ve been interested in pursuing neutral, almost colorless paintings. Of course, there is a world of color in the most neutral composition of blacks grays, and whites. At any rate, this painting has been labor and is not co-operating. I demand the painting to bow to my will. Instead it has behaved difficultly. We shall see where this ends up.

    I think your “Purdah” series is a great concept. It’s a departure from the vibrant translucent color & movement of your monotypes.

    Black & white, dense, and opaque forms translate well into the dogmatic social code enforcing purdah. There’s rage behind the veil.
