Signe!

I spoke to my friend Signe yesterday at the Magic City Art Festival in Birmingham, AL and she informed me, to my amazement, that she had seen some of my new work on this blog! I was under the impression that nobody ever read this thing. So, as a tribute to my friend Signe and as a treat for those others of you that may be reading this without my knowledge, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to her work!
Since the very first time I met Signe I've absolutely loved her paintings. They are scenes that feel familiar, like you could walk into them and feel right at home. Anonymously. I love the way she uses layers of simple paper cut out-looking flat paint on top of beautifully organic streaks of color. The "snapshot" feel of the compositions allows every viewer to relate to the subjects. I'm not an art writer so I'll stop trying and let the images speak for themselves.
