Zen Bontanicals

Black and White. Painting stripped down to the no-color of drawing. The purity of this milieu always demands an approach that is concerned with essence.

Here we may also think of the minimalist techniques associated with traditional Japanese painting and~ perhaps more to the point here~ to the angelic mistakes of the underated art of Thomas Merton.

There is also an original and somewhat novel print/painting effect of over and underexposure generally associated with some photographic approaches.
