RESURRECTION #22

RESURRECTION # 22 oil on canvas 6"x6" I am changing the name of this series to "Resurrection" because that's what decaying leaves are all about. They rot down into soil so that new life can grow.

PERSEPHONE - A START

PERSEPHONE - A START oil on canvas 22"x28" This is the very first stage of a new painting that I made yesterday. It will be Persephone emerging from her captivity in the underworld. She is bring Spring back to the frozen Earth as will be represented by a sprouting seed that I will put in her hand. I want to make her a lot younger looking and also, need to make the background look more like frozen farm fields and less like the arctic ocean. I might put Demeter, searching for her lost daughter, in the background. Updates to follow.

SHOOT 'EM UP

SHOOT 'EM UP oil on canvas 24"x30" This piece needs a few finishing touches and perhaps a new title.

HABANERA

HABANERA oil on canvas 30"x24" I call this picture Habanera because this modern scene in a local bar reminds me of Carmen.

DECAYING LEAF #14

DECAYING LEAF #14 oil on canvas 6"x6" While I am still very much interested in these close up studies of the leaves, I am doing other large paintings that I will start posting next time.
