Watercolor Painting
|
14" x 10"
- This is a watercolor painting based on a black and white photograph by Jock Sturges which can be found in his book The Last Day Of Summer. Periodically I return to looking at his work because I think it's compelling and beautiful. His subjects are primarily children and young people. Here we have three young women posed before the camera in self-protective poses, yet they are still willing subjects, full of a kind of innocence that is sometimes hard to capture. The translation from photograph to painting deepens the mood a bit by accentuating the faces while adding some light washes of color.

Acrylic Painting
|
30" x 24"
- What I see in this painting is a person with a blue head and torso with arms outspread riding on a mountain bike with a red wheel in the country, but I didn't paint the painting with that in mind. I find when a painting works that I see little stories within the abstractions and I find them helpful for naming each piece. I am enjoying these acrylic abstract expressionist paintings so much. I only wish I could get a lot bigger.
