Well here he is. The background in the photo was scraps of dead plants against a background of blackish dirt. Seemed ho hum to me so I popped it up a bit. Maybe too much but I never know when I am done until I have overdone. Think dark and stormy night, yeah, that's the ticket.
I've been messing a bit with yupo, doing those symmetric designs that I do, but Thursday I decided to try to paint actual things, and here is a boat just after St Patrick's day, and the sun rising about a week before the equinox.
A fitting denouement to Pete the pumpkin. I like the way you've abstracted the shapes and enhanced the graphic quality. Nice series! I am seriously blown away by the water in your river painting. It sparkles and moves. I think you've discovered your sweet spot in working with Yupo--more painterly brushstrokes than flat illustrative fields. We need to see more of this.
ReplyDeleteThis last pumpkin is very graphic— in style not content.but I like it and the background. Yeah, what are those greens in that water? I’ve been trying to get those colors….like the sunrise with the building but I think the sky should be orange…very Georgia okeeffe/Arthur Dove feel….
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Houston Texans logo with dementia. Keep going with that Yupo.
