I was watching a documentary about the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, and was struck by the stark beauty of the lava flows, with their intense yellow and orange colours, particularly when contrasted against the black. The documentary talked about hornitos, small openings that release small quantities of lava. After a week of not painting, that documentary inspired me to create the piece titled "Hornito".
While I had the paint out, I decided to try a piece more reminiscent of some of my work from 2008, which I have called "Yesterday" (I was listening to the Beatles anthology while I painted it). It was inspired by some comments made to me by my friend, Lorelei Morrison.
