Hope: Copper and Reds 40 x 30" Acrylic and Ink on Canvas

Hope Paintings: Pigment. Hand. Gravity. 
Hope eschews easy answers and refuses to sit. 
Born of necessity, hope is why I paint, fight, and breathe. 
The dichotomy of the Hope Paintings, 
controlled chaos versus chaotic control, 
is the foundation of hope. 
Hope: Copper and Reds is the first in this series. 
I desperately missed drawing so I started drawing. Some "rules" have been broken. 
Hope doesn't necessarily follow rules.

The first painting in Hope Series. Started with a few brush marks made clean my brush from the prior painting.
