While I try to find a way to make or find a kind of reverse stencil to create soft patterns in water color, I return to oil paint with a renewed appreciation of its properties. Oh how thick and forgiving it is!
For a while I have been contemplating the way people are attached to their environment. The time and place we live forms us in so many ways. I have been dealing with this idea in each painting that includes people but have decided to push it a bit further. Can I say this in a few simple shapes, carefully choosing the color to enhance the feeling of place and time?
Many times when cruising along the streets in Google maps I come across 2 or three men or women standing on a corner talking. I always wonder what brought them there. Here is the first in a series of paintings about that. I have made the paint very thick, almost like lacquer.
