This vertical format of oil encaustic on paper painting exemplifies the masterful technique used by the artist to suggest shimmering quality of light. The artwork is installed at the Medical Examiner office.
"The medium of oil encaustic and the expressionistic brush strokes layer the colors from a limited pallet. This technique gives the paintings a luminous quality. As the viewer changes positions or the light of a room changes, so do the paintings. In this sense, the works are alive; they participate in their environment."
