"My paintings are layers and layers of paint, oil crayons and charcoal, overlapping and builting upon to give the impression of aged objects or weathered boards.  Over time and layers of colors and marks recede into the background."

"Dowdy" is an abstract painting featuring a blend of colors and textures. The dominant color palette includes shades of blue, gray, and yellow with splashes of red. There's a rough, red geometric shape resembling a skewed rectangle at the bottom right of the canvas, which is outlined by visible, bold red strokes. The surrounding areas include sections where blue is more prominent, as well as patches where yellow stands out, suggesting an element of spontaneity in the application of paint. There are also faint linear scribbles and markings across the canvas that add to the complex layering and depth, hinting at underlying forms or structures that are not immediately discernible. The painting has a raw, textured finish, with some areas appearing weathered or eroded, contributing to an overall sense of organic decay or aging. It is framed with a simple, gallery floating light-toned wooden frame that encases the panel.
