Painting Début Interview: D. Hill / J. Moritz Martha’s Vineyard Studio
Sunrise
Sunrise SUNRISE 30″ x 30” August 20, 2015 Here is a painting, Sunrise, with a new geometric paradigm of three narrow bands. Positioned in such a way that they create two larger bands of equal height, and two relatively smaller bands of equal height on top and bottom. While the geometry is clear, the painting
Crimson Harvest
Crimson Harvest CRIMSON HARVEST 30″ x 30” August 9, 2015 This work, Crimson Harvest, represents a departure from working within clearly articulated stripes. It is a vast, singular expression of one color. Rather than making an allusion to something as literal as the maple trees in autumn, I think this painting speaks to figurative sadness.

July 09, 2015 “Early Work” Martha’s Vineyard Studio Early work, this painting is called Gris Parfum—kind of like, fragrance grey. I love this painting because it’s very unpredictable.

Forsythia
Forsythia FORSYTHIA 30″ x 30” July 4, 2015 Meditating on the first flowering spring bush, Forsythia, erupts in yellow flowers. It appears bright against a leafless backdrop of barren branches and cloudy March skies. The painting mixes translucent grayish-taupe with a grayish yellow, punctuated sporadically by bursts of brighter yellow. I like that the colors
Gris Parfum
Gris Parfum GRIS PARFUM 30″ x 30” June 16, 2015 I was conscious of mixing dirty and sweet colors in this painting, Gris Parfum. Composed of alternating stripes of dove grey imbued with clay-brown. Accompanied by deeper grey stripes, punctuated by strokes of light pink. This painting is a metaphor for the day that I
Sand Sky
Sand Sky SAND SKY 30″ x 30” May 17, 2015 An exploration of wide ethereal spaces which breathed in three large bands of color, Sand Sky. “Belted in” with two thinner bands that evoked texture. I loved the impressionistic migrations from soft blue to light tan. Which were a psychological blurring of experiencing both mediums,
Apollo
Apollo APOLLO 30″ x 30” May 16, 2015 In my yearning to complexify and intensify my artistic “voice”, I undertook this painting as a metaphor for my youngest dog, Apollo. He is an alert, adventurous, innocent, joyful, and mostly black Shiba-Inu with markings of tan and white. Truly a study of random motion. In the
Bee
Bee BEE 30″ x 30” April 4, 2015 After a considerable absence from the studio, I decided to tackle a third series of paintings around this idea I called ‘The Current’. All in all, signifying something moving, faster, turning, rushed. I think that after my second series ‘Glamour’ I was ready to be more intense.
