Land Torments the Sea, oil on gessobord, 6x6 inches
Let me just get this out of the way...I am working on a better method of photographing my paintings. In the non-winter light it was easy, because I could take the painting photo just about anywhere. Now that I am working in my basement, and there is no daylight at the times when it is convenient for me to click away, I get massive glare from my lights. My son was attempting to explain to me the soft blue/purple lights they have in the Visual Arts department of his high school, but that discussion will have to wait for the moment
The painting is an abstracted version of the small mountains that rise out of the San Francisco bay. I look at each one and the few roads that are built on them and I want to drive to the top. If I lived in California, it would become a habit to paint these mountains, with the rocks, crevices and ripples that make them up.
