Downtown $65.00
Original Mixed Media on Wood

I love this painting. From the red to the orange and the slick of grey street down the side...I love all over it.
I like perspective painting..I'm not always that good at it. This piece
just kinda happened. I wanted to paint downtown. I wanted the blue North Carolina
skies to bounce off the window panes. "It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life".

I like working with house paints and wood for a few reasons. 1. I get both free most of the time (ya know...those wood scraps in your garage? The old can of paint from your spare bedroom re-do...) 2. I don't always prime my wood because I want the paint to have it's own relationship with the grain. It's what gives me debth and layers. The paint absorbs and dries quickly which makes my life easier bc I have to be fast and efficient (which again affects my pricing). 3. dry brushing. I just love it. grey over white in a sailboat scene for shadows. SO COOL. Light blue over dark blue for texture in water.

It's the simple things. Once again. That really get me.

An old friend of mine just bought this from me. It is so rewarding when friends buy my work. Especially now that were all older, have homes, and families...artwork tells your story. It's about who you are. When a friend buys art I'm sure there's a few scattered emotions in it as to why they are purchasing. Most of my collectors have a true love of art. I know that. Recently I've shipped to New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and now Maryland (piggy backed with a Florida). Donna and I used to "run" these galleries in Cape May, Stone Harbor etc...early in our careers. I think she and I both know what this painting reminds us of. All of our downtowns. Our Cape Mays, Our San Frans, (a little shopping center in Marmora with great bagels and tuna subs next door). Its a universal understanding that we all have them. We've working in them, on them, around them, and now maybe some of us own them. I just try to get into them. Like trooper cars and boats. huh Donna. xo. Thank you.

I can't believe I'm doing this..because it goes so against everything I believe but this one's for you D. I still hear you singing it.
