View of Shipping Terminal from the Pier at Cesar Chavez Park in Barrio Logan, 01/11, Oil on panel 11 x 14 inches
I went painting with Kathryn Law recently down at the Pier at Cesar Chavez Park in Barrio Logan near the Coronado Bridge. An amazing place with awesome views of the harbor. The light was changing and it was a little chillier than we are used to here, although having to wear a sweater in January isn’t too much to ask I suppose!
That`s got great energy Larry and it looks like it was fun to paint!
Thanks Randall, Sorry for the delay in responding here. Sometimes when working on a very busy scene in one sitting I give myself permission to look at the painting more than the scene, knowing there is no way to truly paint what I’m seeing, the impossibly complicated makes it paradoxically more liberating and fun. I’ve been thinking of how to have my other work be more like this.
Larry, I found your comment about the “impossibly complicated- more liberating” very interesting. I’m giving you notice that I’m stealing this thought for future use. In a similiar manner, I’ve found gray days to allow for more acceptable invention of color.
