The California Dreamin’ subjects are taken from photographs shot on trips romanticizing the natural forms of Southern California while utilizing the Green, Orange, and Purple Triad. A green dominated vision features tree-like forms and Transparency/Opacity is a key element with emphasis on unmarked areas. A fourth color, blue, was added to the triad mix. Applying paint to a wet surface allows for “chance” to play a role, letting the science of paint, water plus gravity to do its thing, but not always with full autonomy.
