oil on cotton canvas, 48 x 36″, work in (early stage of) progress
Just like to keep a record of a piece’s development at least in part… the influence of all that landscape work over the past year is clearly in evidence here… but there was no conscious intention on my part to create a landscape imaginary or real… I feel that this is more me, more my painting, more me simply baring my soul… I have been blind and now I see – so to speak. Again I am thankful to all those great artists of the past that have in one way or another influenced me. Oh yes, this snapshot was taken this evening under poor indoor lighting conditions… the actual piece’s coloration is not as grey and there is more contrast…
