A New Year of Painting
House on Howe Avenue, Shelton, CT, Oil on Canvas, 36″ x 36″, Work in Progress
It’s a new year, full of hope and promise, just like an empty canvas. For one of my last shows of 2011, I painted a series of 12 small (8″ x 8″) building tops (please see my October 23, 2011 post Small Works Show at Ulla Surland’s Design Boutique & Gallery). After the show’s opening, I ended up painting a 13th canvas of a great old house in Shelton, CT. I then wondered what it would be like to do a large roof top. Really large. So I started a version of #13 on a 36″ x 36″ canvas. House on Howe Avenue, Shelton, CT is a work in progress, my first painting of the new year, and I really like how it’s turning out.
I’m working towards a fall solo show, scheduled for September through October. I have my work cut out for me. More news on my progress in the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned!
