Here’s another new painting. It has a very bright and optimistic feel which I believe is the right atmosphere for what I see in this piece. Like many of my pieces with the fields with rows , this has a certain symbolism for me. I see the rows running to the center as representations of labor, of working toward ones aspirations. I see the red tree as a sort of dangling carrot. A reward for effort and perseverance. It’s a recurring concept behind my work and something I try to keep at the front of my mind as a reminder of the need for patience in my efforts.
In the houses I see a reminder that one’s toil and efforts might go unnoticed by those around you. Everyone has their own field to work.
I call this piece A Shining Reward which is a bit obvious after giving my read on the piece. But if the shoe fits…
