Edward Hopper's Coffee, 16x20, A/C

This one is five houses ago, at my old cabin. That kitchen had great light. The floor was bare concrete, painted turquoise, which sounds awful but really wasn't. It worked. I still have that mug. For the record, the perspective is skewed on purpose. I wanted it to feel like you were going to fall into the mug. Not sure if that worked, but i like the light. I remember being on a Pthalo green kick with this one, especially in the lighter shadow and the highlight on the edge of the sink. Strange what we remember at random, eh?

Congregation, 48x24, Acrylic/Canvas

You'll never convince me that they don't speak to eachother, but I do wonder what they talk about. I'm sure it's a fascinating conversation.

The Thinking Tree, 6x6, Acrylic/Canvas

Man, trees really are the best conversationalists....even dead ones. This lightning-struck old veteran watches over one of my favorite thinking spots, high up in Hartman Rocks, with a watchful eye over the valley floor a few hundred craggy feet below. There is a concave boulder resting near this guy that is more comfortable than any sofa you'll ever find, and it is a wonderful place to sit, think, and breathe. I've carried a photo of this spot around with me from move to move, and it has had a permanent spot next to my easel. Looking at it always makes me think about, well, thinking. Thinking like you can only do in places like this.
