I know your paintings, and that is how I know your soul. I feel some sense of loss in my possessed knowledge of your life, and I sense it through the made objects of yours, and through your art I know you. I feel like I just found out I lost a friend. I love your paintings.

Passing transparencies, slow melodic builds, quiet crescendos, the paint breaths across the surface, blobs squirt and announce muted moments.

Loney doplet, lovely moment, echoed by shadows of previous marks in the pinkish beige paint. I love your paintings. RIP.
