The Sea
Oil, on canvas, 24"x 36"
|
|
|
This is interesting as a depiction which includes a mental conception and literal reference. I remember when my mother asked what the painting was about, I responded it was a portrait of father and son. She said, "But they are waves." I said, "Yes they are waves in a sea of waves, but they are also father and son and energy."

Grandy
Drawing, on paper, 12"x 18"
|
|
This is a drawing from 1958 of my Grandfather. It is the earliest surviving image of a portrait. This is a good representation of Carl. It is a bit crude in the use of line, but my education and experience were not yet in place. The nature of arriving at a portrait is not dependant on an elegant style but in conveying the observation of "characteristic" details which are associated with that individual. I have always been attracted by the portrait. It presents the esthetic dilemma inherent in all art which is the relationship of individuality and totality.

My neighbor Josh Booth, made a watercolor of the barn. She suggested I make one. Hers was a lyrical complete picture.

study2
Oil, on canvas, 11"x 14"

This work was a study in the balance between image identification and abstraction. The question it addressed was, at what point does an image gel into the identifiable representation of a person's face, or remain abstract parts existing in their own right as color and shape.
