Oil on Canvas

Maple Shadow Frame

This is an Original Oil Painting.

There is a whole series of water towers, oil rigs, and other giant containers you see perched on legs all over the South. I am in Virginia but was raised in the Louisiana Mississippi River Delta area. I have been there many times recently and it kept striking me the sheer flatness of the landscape and then the numerous tall structured that just come out of the ground. I have seen these my whole life but suddenly I was aware of them. And that describes how I make paintings. They just happen like that. I don’t see for a long time then one day I do. I may not paint it that very day but it starts that small and suddenly I am that great place where I am just painting and being with color and not over thinking what to paint but just doing it. That feeling is the entire reason I paint. That feeling of just being immersed and detached from anything but the then and now.

The tower in Pink leans to the left. I have to point out that so many of my pieces do this, and not with my permission. They just pull to the left. Ladies look to the left and when I am drawing anything in profile it will inevitably gaze to to the left. It used to frustrate me until I just let i go because what I have learned from these years of painting is to let it come through and not to fight it. The beauty of experience.
