This composition contains the highest concentration of black petunia pigment of the series. The pigment was applied in a light wash through the ground of the painting, as well as thickly with a palette knife in the bottom right of the painting. The high concentration of the pigment adds a temporal aspect to the piece, as the fugitive pigment will shift color over time. The image thus references the old Woods Barn in color, texture, and through the element of time.
 
This artwork is part of the July 2024 ‘To the Woods’ collection. The series is filled with the buzzing humming energy of full summer. This energy surrounded me each time I sat down to paint. For this series I worked almost exclusively outdoors, in the flower fields around the Wood’s Market Garden farmstand as well as in some of my favorite fields near Middlebury, Vermont. Bees often landed on my canvas looking for pollen amongst the colors. I hope these paintings remind you of these full bustling days of summer, even when they have given way to the stillness of quieter seasons.
