To call these ‘new’ is sort of misleading. One of them (City, Spring) is actually new. But the other painting (Winter) is something I worked off and on at for about 2 years. I thought it was done but something still didn’t seem right so I had it sitting on a small easel so I could look at it off and on to decide if it was really done or not. Then one day, I took the easel down to dust. When I put the painting back, I placed it upside down not realizing it. Then when I looked at it, it all of the sudden seemed like a whole new painting. I made one or two small marks on it and declared it finished, finally! See, it does pay to clean every once in awhile!

Ooo these are very intriguing! Love the animosity surrounding the subject matters!

Thank you for your thoughts. I have always loved the city and buildings so I have no animosity towards those subjects. However, everyone experiences art differently and that is fine.

My mistake – I did not explain myself well – I meant for me when looking at your work here the subject matter seems ambiguous. Once reading the titles accompanying the works it directs me to possible themes of the piece – hope this makes sense

Yo! I love your new work! – including the lyrical Seed Houses that I think I forgot to comment on at the time. You seem to be in a very happy creative phase.

Well, here is the thing – I like to scribble in my sketchbooks at night. The paintings have always been a struggle for me. By nature, i’m not a painter.

Hi Sheldon, I am glad you like these. The winter one was a real struggle that finally worked itself out.

I especially love the winter one. I like it either way but you’re right, the new way is better. It reminds me of being at work in the city about 40 years ago when a big snowstorm came up (back then a snowstorm in the forecast didn’t cancel work) and I remember eating lunch in the cafeteria with its big windows and I could barely see the buildings a block away. I remember we had 21 inches eventually. They did let us go home early. The trolley and a half mile walk got me home no problem, snow falling like crazy all the way. Like your painting!

It was sort of an adventure, maybe that’s why I remember it so well.
