I woke up this morning at 3:30ish and realized that I had not posted my painting. So here is yesterday's painting. There were some loose grapes in the bag so I lined them up. I think they are at the Copacabanna, can't you hear the rhythm and beat. Theys swingin they hips and swayin they little heads.
I started this series of small (6” x 6”, 6” x 8”, 5” x 7”) paintings in May 2009 as a daily practice and discipline in order to liberate my work by painting from life in a restricted amount of time. In carefully considering placement, shape and color, I strive to find the essence and beauty of common objects in a fast-paced world that is dominated by electronic gadgets and digital images. It is my hope that people will stop, look and see the dignity and soul of things that are often taken for granted.
Composition and lighting are key elements in the creative design process, allowing me to create a lively and often humorous narrative.
