"Jade"
24" x 32" Acrylic on Paper, 1996
Jade was one of those pieces that just materialized out of thin air. When I was in art school I was at my best friend's house painting with him, and I just started with the ribbon shapes and everything else just happened perfectly after that! I always liked the extreme balance of this painting and the mysterious quality. The idea behind her is to personify a gem stone, in this case Jade or Jadeite. As if she is actually made of the material itself, but is also somehow alive and breathing...

Love those old photos, they are lit so well, and the black and white lets you focus on what's important... more sketches in the sketches area too...
