When I paint, I never blend. Instead, I layer thousands of marks side-by-side, swaths of color that are then translated by the observer. Two inches of canvas viewed from a few inches away might have a hundred brushstrokes that seem to form nothing, but when the piece is considered as a whole, the effect is highly representational.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/01\/ewb10.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
