OIL AND WAX PAINTINGS ON CANVAS FROM SPRING 2013 MFA SEMESTER

These are two new paintings, very similar, as they are two versions of the same scene. The scene is from a photo that my professor's brother had taken. It is a photo taken of the first flight taking off from a New York airport after 9-11-2001. As we all remember , air traffic was stopped for a few days after that tragedy. This is the first flight outbound as air travel resumed. The flight was at sunrise.

OIL PAINTING ON CANVAS 16" x 20"
ONE OF MY FAVORITE STILL LIFE PAINTINGS. I AM PARTICULARLY PROUD OF THE LOOSE BRUSHWORK, COLORFUL TRANSLUCENCE OF THE OLD GLASS JAR, AND FLICKERING JUXTAPOSED COLORS.  THE AQUA COLOR IS ALSO A FAVORITE.

Under The Big Wave

UNDER THE BIG WAVE IS ONE OF MY MOST AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MIXED MEDIA COMPOSITIONS. WORKING WITH TORN PAPER, GESSO, ACRYLIC PAINT, OIL PASTEL,RICE PAPER AND FOUND IMAGES , THE COMPOSITION TOOK 4 MONTHS TO COMPLETE. IN A WATERY PALETTE OF BLUES AND GREENS, THERE ARE A VARIETY OF IMAGES AND OBJECTS BEING TOSSED ABOUT INSIDE THE WAVE. IT IS NOT LITERALLY AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL, BUT HAS EMBEDDED SYMBOLS AND SHAPES THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT TO MY STORY. THE RANDOM SHAPES AND FOUND IMAGES COULD ALSO EVOKE MEMORIES OF OTHER VIEWERS LIVES. THEY ARE NOT SPECIFIC, SO CAN BE INTERPRETED MANY WAYS BY MANY VIEWERS. THERE ARE LOTS OF LAYERS. LITERALLY - THE MORE YOU LOOK THE MORE YOU SEE.
