I find the eyes so compelling. When I envision my paintings, they often do not make sense unless the eyes are present.

The eyes are the “Witness”. The Witness sees you. It is you. It shares your experience of viewing the painting. You cannot pretend that you did not view the work, that you did not have the reaction you had, that you did not have the thoughts you had, because the witness was there with you. There is a witness to the experience. The Witness will never speak, and it will never judge, but it sees. 

The colors were inspired by the gorgeous landscape of New Mexico.
