Code Warrior, acrylic on clay board. 5"x7" 6/2015 This painting came to me as I started to realize that I wanted to really learn code for the internet. I used to think it was just for a job but now I realize it's just something I want for myself.

Last night was 2nd Friday, Seattle Belltown's art walk. I was at the 55 Bell Art Gallery, second floor of the Herban Legends across from the Seattle Art Institute. Good Show, Dave Bloomfield, Claudio Duran and Amanda Stalter. Here is my favorite work in the show. Claudio Duran along with his Clones: It's always good to see Dave's work, especially when you least expect it. This is my first time seeing Amanda's drawings. I was really drawn to the smaller works, they reminded me of short day dreams of nymphs that float through my mind. Yes, my mind because, I couldn't possibly pretend to know what goes through any one else's.

Some how using a ruler and intersecting triangles released pent up energy in me and it continues to be a source of emotional release. This period of work for me was about the total abstraction of the human body. I saw each drawing as a metaphor for emotional state of mind of the figure. Each shape, shade and texture represented the subjects compartmentalized thoughts and emotions.
