This is a new piece, temporarily titled On the Canal, that I completed this weekend. This painting is kind of an extension of my Red Roof series that I have been working on for a number of years. This piece and a few others like it from earlier in the year are different than earlier Red Roof pieces in that the earlier pieces were more about the landscape in which the red roofed houses appeared. These newer paintings are more about color and form, the arrangement of both into an almost abstract form.
This is a smaller canvas, 8″ high by 24″ long, but has a bigger feel. From it I get the sense that I will probably do a larger piece in this manner. I think a large piece would have great visual impact and may start one soon. I will post any progress.
