DECAYING LEAF #1

DECAYING LEAF #1 6"x6" oil on canvas This next group of paintings are ultra-close up examinations of the autumn leaves that have fallen on my driveway in the last few weeks. I am fascinated not only by the brilliant autumn colors of the leaves, but also by the little spots of decay that eventually cover the whole leaf.

TIME AFTER TIME

TIME AFTER TIME oil on canvas 18"x15" This painting has been occupying me for quite some time. I think it is about generations - the transformation of the past into the future. It will go to Soho20 gallery in NYC next month.

I made this painting about five or six years ago and have just brought it down from the attic and made a few changes. I don't really know what it is about. Who is she? What is the raccoon doing there?

STEP ONE ON ANOTHER NEW PAINTING


STEP ONE ON ANOTHER NEW PAINTING
oil on canvas
54"x40"
I seem to be posting a lot of "step ones" lately. I have a lot of paintings underway. I have been thinking about starting this one for years and have finally come up with an approach. I think I will call it "STATE AND MAIN". It is about global warming. The happy children in the foreground do not realize that there is anything strange about playing at the water's edge on a city street instead of a beach. The adults are looking out to sea in a perplexed attitude as if they can't understand what has happened and that they may have had something to do with it. I plan to add more children and to make them lighter and brighter so that they will pop out from the somber background. The painting should be grim and mysterious in the back and bright and carefree in the front. That is expecting a lot, I know.
