Another birthday card, a bag of fruit, and a mystery location

 Holly dancing after recovering from a serious illness last summer. 


Lifted from a watercolor FB site to see if I could do it. Too “masky”. My teen grandson asked “what’s cellophane.”


Who knows where this is?

  1. Love the happy dance and the cellophaned fruit. It would look cool if it went all the way around. Looks like a memorial being reflected in a pool. Graceland? Rosehill?

    1. Yes I should have extended the line of the mask. Its the Goodman tomb at Graceland.

    2. I thought so. The facade of the old Goodman Theatre on Monroe and Columbus is a replica of Kenneth Sawyer Goodman’s tomb. His parents built the theatre in his memory. Joe spent half his career stage managing at the old Goodman….(and the other half at the new Goodman!)

    3. I should have written “was” a replica. It’s gone now replaced by the new ARt Institute wing…

  2. That cellophane looks like it is in a separate astral plane from the peaches, but I like it. And I don't know what the subject of the Turneresque landscape.

  3. That cellophane is very cool. It gives the effect of sunlight hitting a new purchase after a trip to a farmers' market. You could extend the mask lines a bit, but I think I'd try to keep them faint and only on the light side so you don't lose the effect you've got here. I got a Graceland vibe from the last painting. And what is cellophane? Indeed!
