 | Brooklyn Diptych: Domino Sugar 18" x 24"
& Williamsburg Bridge 18" x 24" - $17,000 |
I have spent a good deal of time working in New York this Spring: A Mamaroneck workshop, Salmagundi Club show & time painting with my good friends Andrew & Donna Lattimore.
Though I generally don't believe in happy accidents regarding art, this turned out to be the exception; these two works were not originally intended to be together - an unintentional diptych.
When I saw the old Domino Sugar factory I was simply compelled to paint it. Stepping back to take in the view, I saw the composition with the bridge and hoped to get back again and catch the image. As fate would have it, we did get back, had sun and I was able to get the second painting.
It wasn't until we got the work out that night and had them sitting side by side the Donna commented that they lined up perfectly.
I never thought of myself as a diptych kind of guy - never say never.
A special thank-you to Lorian Jacks and the Lattimores for their splendid hospitality.

Trip #4 & the new Travel Blog

 | | Stupid tent idea with John Cosby |
Some painting trips go so smoothly; the heavens smile upon you and the hotel room fills up with fresh work and the Martinis are always cold.
This was the other kind.
11 days, 2,600 miles - 5 paintings.
We painted on the edge of Lake Erie in Erie, Lackawanna, Conneaut & Ashtabula and I don't think the lake wanted us around. She threw raw, brutal weather at us the entire trip but for one 3-hour window of sun.

 | | My 3-hour window of sun |
We bought a tent to paint under which didn't work - my idea, sorry Cosby. We were shooed away from a steel mill by a guard who could have played a significant role in the film Deliverance.
With his hand resting on his gun, his words were "Leave Now" but his eyes said, "Do you feel lucky today, punk? Well, do ya?"
Dirty Harry is alive and well in Erie Pennsylvania.
For a peek into the trip please check out the Travel Blog on our newly updated Rust & Roadsides website.
