Note: In November 2004 returned to working with high-gloss enamels as a paint medium. In the 1970's I used enamel paint in a progression of works that eventually evolved into my linear style. This time around I am trying not to be so strict with the inherent hard edge nature of the paint but am exploring certain aspects of blending, over-painting and wet-to-wet paint edge seep/flow.
