Donald Jurney

As a painter, I'm fascinated by how a patch of violet becomes shy as it sidles up to a clear, strong blue, and how it bursts forth luminous and rich near a touch of orange. There is a joy in the way a line may start out confident enough, then hesitate, to finally careen onward in a rush of great energy. Often a painting is a conversation between disparate shapes and forms, some retiring, some aggressive, all informed --- here brilliant. there disguised --- in a carefully-conceived dance of light.

In the end, all these considerations are placed in service of a subject. This may be a celebration of a place, perhaps, or an investigation of an evanescent mood. It may be the painter's recollection of a particular locale or an invitation to the viewer to remember a long-forgotten summer afternoon. The subject is the well-earned prize at the bottom of the box.

For the viewer who has both the time and inclination to really look, one hopes to afford, by way of a painted surface wrought of subtleties, the opportunity to explore at leisure the wonder of the world in which we live.
