new painting
This one, as yet untitled, is 54" x 36" and just recently finished. In painting it I came across a couple of new ideas that I've carried forth into current works in progress. One is the palette of pale green and gold, and rusty browns and reds. The other is the panel arrangement in which there is a squeezed or compressed effect with the narrow panels being between the wider ones. Overall, a quiet painting, with a sense of contained energy--it evokes for me this time of year, at least here in Wisconsin--when there is only the most subtle greening of the landscape.
