Finger-painted Garden was a surprising
reaction to the explosion of leaves that changed my subject almost overnight.
Without the framework of branches to map out my subject, I began to respond
directly to the directions of growth, and to the fleeting qualities of
light on one particular day. The result is uncertain and unresolved but
important in the way it transforms the foliage into painted signs.
