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.

FIRST STEP ON ANOTER NEW PAINTING

oil on canvas 36"x30" I am starting on a new group of paintings based on the Santiago subway. This and the previous post are two of them. I still like working with subway pictures, even though I am living up here in rural Vermont.

This is a painting just as it was at the end of a two hour session of one of my painting groups. I usually do not keep these quick studies, but this one, I think I will fix up and finish.
