EARLY SUMMER. New Paintings (And a "bonus" pic of me!)

I have been exploring a few new avenues. Besides the interactive piece I have also been working with oils. And there were a few images that I just had to "get out" and do a painting of them. Here are the latest works. I hope you enjoy them!

 

 

 

Landscape

Oil on Canvas

36" x 36"

This canvas had been hanging around forever - up in the office. I had done a background and placed what was supposed to be the death crone in the foreground. What a miserable failure that was! So it sat there till one night I had an epiphany. I decided to do a rather thick layer of paint and "comb" it so that it gives the effect of grasses. I think it really works. Check out the detail of the piece below.

Red

Oil on Canvas

24" x 24"

Gee, I liked "Landscape" so much that I wanted to do a couple more pieces in the same fashion. I did "Red" and also "Blue".

Really, dead Barbies are after me! I saw this "Barbie" (a bootlegged Barbie, by the way) in front of the drive up mail box in Waterbury. I couldn't believe it. And I ran her over! Twice!! Oops. So, it was just too much. I decided to do two companion pieces to the original - "New Haven After Dark".

I take a back road to work (Thanks, Bill, for that tip!) and in late spring there is a curve where the forest presses in upon you. But, thru the trees there is this wonderful gash of bright light. I just had to record it.
