new painting: Beret and Backpack

The backpack and beret of this Paris pedestrian initially caught my eye, but it was the silvery blue of the wet sidewalk, warmth of the shadow and motion of the subject that kept me looking. The aerial viewpoint creates abstract shapes from the foreshortened figure and flattens the “scene”. This painting is not only reminiscent of Paris, travel and youth, but also helps us to rediscover the wonder of the insignificant and cultivate our ability to enjoy the moment. size, media, etc. ->

Aerial Painting of Men That Don’t Want to Be Painted, 2013

While capturing video from the Santa Monica Pier of pedestrians and cyclists on the bike path below, one of my unwitting subjects started yelling up at me.
