A348 Lightening Five (Repose)
24x18" oil on linen
private collection

In this painting, the figure reposes, the patterns around her amorphous and changing. The idea is based on the brain’s ability to sift through the day’s events in sleep, sort it, and make sense of it, then file it away. It is as if sleep has formed a protective skin that the outer world and all its chaos cannot enter, but only slide around and past, flowing away, like a tide of detritus.
