Philosophical Questions

Philosophical Questions, oil on gessobord, 6x6 inches


Today is my birthday and this little painting, which I recently discovered had never been posted, looks like something I would like to be doing today... having a discussion of philosophical stuff, on a blanket with friends and turning 25 again!! Instead, I get a birthday concert played by the Louisville Youth Orchestra, with my youngest daughter on stage. 
Here is the original post that I wrote back in September when I painted this:

Three people sitting on a blanket, engaged in the art of conversation.  This was a fun, quick painting that turned out gestural and sketchy. These small paintings are difficult to  create the detail of a scene, AND abstract it to the extent that it conveys what you, the artist, sees.  I like being both detailed, and abstract and often the hard part is deciding which would be best for your own portrayal. Either way, I need to keep painting :-)
