This series was done in the sun and with the sun in mind. "How bright can I make a painting before it overloads the senses and the result is visual chaos?"  These painting are my answers to my question.  I can get pretty bright.  Color theory is not just a phrase to throw around. Itten and Albers knew what they taught. Every now and then, all painters need to re-examine their roots and re-learn elements of design that are often taken for granted.

They are designed to be rotated. The paintings have the same meaning irregardless of the orientation.
