These paintings are constructed of layers and layers of paint, up to 30 or so layers. Sometimes I use my hands; sometimes I use a brush to add paint to the ridges which were formed by my hands. Here is a small detail of a larger piece.
Many of my Touch Series paintings will be included in my show Shimmer at Archway Gallery which opens Saturday, March 7, 2015.

Hi Donna,
I love this! And remember seeing this body of work in progress.
It reminds of a lava flow I witnessed in Guatemala back when studying geology in 1975!
Miss you.
Carolyn
