Near Koko Crater
Oil on linen, mounted to panel
Collection of the artist

I include this painting because it has the quality of freshness that I like, but also because it was such an experience for me to paint. The location requires some effort to reach-only the fisherman come down here, and somehow they do so at night.

The color of light and shadow, motion and wind, crusty smells and surfaces; all of it came together for me in this small painting. The paint itself is rather broken, crusty, and built up in a way I thought was tied to the place.
