“A major skill in the art is to understand light. In this body of intuitive abstract paintings called “Color and Emotion”, I covered the ground of the canvas with a neutral gray made from translucent prime colors. The dark mixture appeared cool in some places, warm in others as I created my geometric forms. Knowing that the inverse relationship between light’s wavelength and its frequency determines how the optical spectrum is perceived, I glazed layers of a highly transparent medium mixed with oil paint in order to change the visible spectrum of light reflected from the canvas. Depending on my intent, I have used magenta, crimson red, cyan, yellow, Prussian blue, or Viridian green.
