"Following an assessment of where my paintings were heading, I determined that it was time for a reset. I felt the need to return to the basics, and to concentrate on skills that make up the building blocks for my work. The most important being draftsmanship and using a simplified palette. As I was making the transition, I was invited to hold an exhibit here. After touring the space, I determined how to approach the task, and what the contents of the show would be. This body of work was produced to fulfill this purpose and to occupy these walls. This installation of paintings is the culmination of another journey. It has proven to be one that helped me clear some personal hurdles and move on to the next destination."— Doug NehrbassSeptember 10 - October 31
