I've done some thinking and some painting on each of these and decided to post them together because they go together in my mind. Both instantiate and memorialize parts of LA that I love.
Girl on a Cell Phone, set in Silver Lake in winter, has been considerably punched up. I've developed the girl to the point where she more than holds her own with the looming mural.
Girl with a Red Muffler, set on a winter day at the old Farmers Market at Third and Fairfax, has also had substantial work on the central figure, especially her face, shoulder and hand.
I quite like your work. The satyr and the girl seem to share the same arm.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I quite like your work, too. And, uh oh. I'd better take another look--no arm sharing was intended--though parallel and reinforcing arm gestures were.
ReplyDeleteJS, as much as I like your paintings, I think I like where you eat even bettter!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the URL for your food blog?!
No food blog, but I do love to eat. And I'm very happy to come to your blog and share finds. I'm enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteI like the arm share. I mean, you know it's hers, but still, her arm flows so well from him as well -- it's as if he's holding her.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. I didn't understand what you meant until I looked at the painting again. Then I actually changed the girl's arm position a touch to emphasize the flow and rhythm better. Thanks for the insight.
