new. ‘abiding ostinati’ (48x52)

New work 'abiding ostinati' (2026, 48 x 52in, acrylic color and pencils on canvas). "In music, an ostinato (ostinati, plural) is a motif or phrase that persistently repeats in the same musical voice, frequently in the same pitch. In common usage, the term covers repetition with variation..." (pulled from sound Wikipedia sources). With love for paint and shape and recollection. Real life dream clouds. A story from flowers. Lost poems, bold and whole again.
