"Push and Pull" is acrylic on wood, quite large at 45x96".  This piece was requested for a large open work space after I completed my recent work, "Citrus."  The layering of circles in this technique builds up a very dynamic surface.  While there's a great deal of energy and movement, keeping the palette soft and the grid parallel to the frame lends stability and quietness.  I enjoyed how differently the paint interacted with the wood verses canvas.  It's difficult to see here but the texture created by the repeated application and removal of paint is interesting up close.
