"Fortnight" March 19,2020-present, a collection of 14" x 14" oil paintings on panel. Dimensions variable.
"Fortnight" is an ongoing project begun nineteen days into my Covid-19 quarantine. Each day I attempt to capture the quality and color of the sky. "Fortnight" is a pragmatic project about data collection and weather patterns, and also a subjective record of my perception of color, my ability to record in paint the fleeting conditions of light and atmosphere, and a daily journal-a marking of time.
