This new chapter includes a deeper artistic vision then I have ever had before.   It has opened my mind to new mediums and an overflow of creativity.  With this I am creating less art, but more involved art with very expensive materials.

This is the second painting in my new "Slurry & Resin 2012 series"

I have been perfecting my "slurry" over the past year and it is how I achieve the floating translucent effect on the canvas.  Also, I know it's been around quite awhile, but I am infatuated with epoxy resin.  I use it to spread over the entire canvas.  This enables me to encapsulate objects into my paintings.  It's hard to see in photos, but it's like putting a think piece of glass over the painting and it make the colors absolutely brilliant.

This painting is titled "Criticality"

If you have been following my career you know that I am obsessed with science.

So what is "Criticality" def per wiki: When a nuclear chain reaction in a mass of fissile material is self-sustaining, the mass is said to be in a critical state in which there is no increase or decrease in power, temperature or neutron population.
