I was thinking about how Richard Diebenkorn painted and how he was influenced by Edward Hopper – https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/theater-art/2012/03/31/richard-diebenkorn-west-coast-painter-his-best/oDFqBqPqwR3uWDovjNmBIL/ostory.html.

And Barnet Newman –https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/68.178/–

They painted abstractly about things – the paintings are maps of their thoughts and feelings about things. Switching between the figurative and the abstracted, I dont think you have to be one or the another, why be pigeon holed. I think of painters who’s brush marks are so loose that they become abstracted and other painters who start with an image which gets lost in the building of a surface. the materiality takes over and they allow a spontaneous response.

Mark Bradford, Varda Caivano & Claudia Carr also come to mind. I find the images pleading.
