Window on the Past



Window on the Past
20 x 16 Mixed Media on Canvas

This is really one of those is this really done photographs. It still amazes me that what I fail to see in the canvas I can see in a photograph of the canvas. Or casually passing it over the next few days. So it will sit up in my studio and be looked at and ignored and tweaked some more no doubt. One needs some distance from a subject I have worked up close and personal with for a few days.

I will debate and fret a little. And come to the point of putting the final coatings on it. This seems to happen more when it is a departure from usual subject or a larger than normal canvas. While this period drags on I will be working on the other canvas I have not finished.




I have done a picture of Rainbow Bridge before and am striving for a different look this time. I believe it is time to close the portfolio on the picture of the previous rendition. I think college art classes taught me too well how to copy.

  1. Window on the Past is very unusual. Clever. Where did you inspiration for this one come from?

  2. Very striking painting! the more we look at familiar things, the more we discover in them. I recollect the cracks on the ceiling of my grandfather's house, which I used to look at while lying in bed and saw all sorts of things outlined by them.

I appreciate all kind comments on my art and poetry.
