A sort of hybrid version of the food truck/angels image. I may like this one best. The colorful angelic women and girls make me think of parrots, effortlessly floating upward.
The Food Truck
Another version of the Rodeo Food Truck. At the rodeo grounds, Prescott, AZ rodeo, 2017. I like that the food signs are covering and crowding out the painting. It seems vaguely sacrilegious.
Rodeo Clowns, darker version
I think I’m happier with this version than the last much-lighter version I posted the other day. This way it looks like things are emerging from a dark and creepy place, a place where a deer carcass is draped over a tree limb. I like the conflict between the story line of the painting and that of the parading rodeo clowns. I don’t like things that are too obvious, too simple, too much of a “one liner.” Dig deeper.
Rodeo Clowns, 4th of July Parade, Prescott, AZ
Rodeo Clowns, 4th of July Parade, Prescott, AZ. This is the first entry for my new blog. I want feedback from other people, artists, art enjoyers, anyone who wants to engage in the topic of art. Most of the pieces I will post will be “in process,” meaning that I may later post alternative versions of the piece. As I look at the above piece, my first reaction is that it needs more of something. It needs to be punchier, more dramatic. I need to re-work it a little. Meanwhile, look for me on twitter, facebook, and instagram. Older pieces of mine can be found under the Gallery tab. Have fun, and let me know what you think.
