Rainy Day With Ballons and spiel

"Rainy Day With Balloons" 20x30

All of these striped paintings are landscapes.  It’s as if one were viewing these vistas through a prism.

The sun peaks over a verdant pasture.  Once you get a little closer you can see that the color lines, where masking tape met wet paint, can be interpreted as trees, little farm houses, and even grain silos.   It’s raining in this bucolic scene, and balloons released by children abandoning a fair seem to laugh and cry a little like clowns as they go to meet porpoises somewhere on the ocean.

This painting sparked a whole new style for me.  It was sort of the synthesis of two other ideas.  The first was an idea for album art, in CD jacket format.  All the pages of the CD jacket would be clear plastic.  However, the lyrics of each song and the credits would have different translucent/tinted font text, such that when the book was closed either a pattern or some cool color combination would emerge as the front and rear cover designs.  Anyway, maybe I’ll still do something stupid like that one of these days.

The other influencing idea was stripe painting.  I’d heard that a middle and high school friend of mine, Caroline Wright, was currently doing this style of painting in Paris.  I didn’t know what it was, but imagined it to be something like what I’m doing <above>.  Then I googled it. When I discovered that stripe painting wasn’t really at all like what I thought it was going to be, I decided to do what I thought it was going to be.

Canon:

I tape off sections of canvas and paint them a solid color.  Once I tape off a section of canvas it becomes my zen garden.  Sometimes I paint the sections with straight up and down brush strokes.  But sometimes I paint the sections with angled brush strokes; to suggest the influence of the wind on rain, for example.  The brush strokes should reflect the character of the sky, as well as the earth.
