Piece description from the artist
Skylights in my studio afford me the possibility of viewing the sky as it changes every few seconds. Clouds rolling across the sky, shafts of sunlight move diagonally, gray clouds, white clouds, blue sky. I paint with a palette knife and acrylic paint so that many layers of paint are possible, giving a depth to the image that I desire.
