"Autumn Matrix" is 48x36", acrylic on canvas.  This is a reworked abstract I originally painted in 2005 for a satellite office.  That artwork returned to us recently and when I saw the piece again, I wasn't happy with it.  It did not feel finished.  I changed the orientation from horizontal to vertical and that freed me from the bottom-heavy sense of landscape.  I used glazes to quiet down areas and feature others.  I also pulled forward a smaller element of light that falls down the surface in a pleasant, rainy way for me.

"Heck-Lee House, Raleigh," "Tucker House, Raleigh," and "Heck-Andrews House, Raleigh", 24x24" acrylic on canvas, are three more pieces from the recent architectural series.  These subjects are in Historic Oakwood and the architecture and painting style I think pull them together as a grouping.  There's a graphic quality to the silhouettes of the trees and the structures themselves are only partially rendered, giving them a sketched feel, almost like a conte chalk and charcoal drawing.
