Here’s two studies of two Fairfield Porter paintings.I really admire his ability to paint representational In an abstract way. Painting these is helping me learn to see shapes instead of objects, a quest I started to understand when I started doing the integrity drawings…
I an so glad that you are not doing people. They are just so persnickety, whereas trees embrace all possibilities with their leafy arms. Especially like the latter with the shadows across sidewalk, all the mornings of my early youth in the land of bungalows. And how about that house? Looks like it is smiling.
ReplyDeleteYou are onto something-painting representational in an abstract way. It’s why I don’t just enlarge the photo and have Blick frame it. That tree is going somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect subject and style for you, Sara. There's movement in the trees—they feel alive! And I'm in love with the shadows on the second one. I could just step into it and it would be stepping into a perfect, happy summer vacation morning. It's wonderful! And now that I've seen it, I have to agree that the house is smiling.
