Part of the inspiration for these paintings came from the observation of the play of winter light on the exterior wall of my studio. The concrete wall, with it's corrugated acrylic roof panels, had similarities to the concrete block with it's chamfered lines. Both the wall and the block reveal the hard clarity of the winter light, and it was this purity of brightness that I wanted to explore.
