" Shimmering Sea"-Oil on panel 11x14, "Mountain Light"- Panel 36x48, "Shadows"- Oil on panel 11x14, "Memoriam"- Oil on panel 11x14"I started with a simple design used through out the series, with variations. By changing the main horizon line and the shape and size of the other elements, especially the triangles, the relationship to one another was altered. The triangles serve as the primary spatial illusion by their size and placement. They are also asked to perform the role, the symbol, if suggesting hills, mountains, and architectonic masses in contrast to the sea-earth horizontal shapes.

While my intent was to refer to nature abstractly, some descriptive elements survive. It is difficult to avoid them. Color blending suggests light and air, as does color itself. As the works evolved, the frame of a window began to appear and eventually took hold. I played with the development and gradually linked it more descriptively with the moon and the sea.
