"RAINING AGAIN"

Traveling on the 91 one late rainy afternoon.  Traffic slowing to a crawl, the glare of headlights, taillights, on and off brake-lights mixed with the pitter-patter background noise of it raining again.  Something in the back of my mind starts it's way up to full consciousness and.... a new painting comes to be...

This oil painting is on board mounted to a 8x6" wooden box:

"OLD FRIENDS"




From the beginning stage to the finish line. The process of moving through and thinking of what is painted first, how the colors would feel and just what I wanted this to look like at the end is such a wonderful stimulating experience .. Oh! there where many steps, but not to bore anyone, I'm just showing three, like with any of our paintings, the stages are numerous, I'm lucky to have photographed these, I get so into it, I forget to take pictures.. I indeed had fun playing with all the geometric shapes, then to accentuate them a bit further, the pebble effect came into play... I then looked at this for sometime before deciding on the sign post in the foreground and where to place it... A little to the left, a little to the right, here, there???... I walked in & out of my studio half a dozen times before committing, I did not want to feel.."Oh No!" why there... Yes one can change it, but what a hassle.. "Enough on this" .. Look and enjoy.. 6x8 inch oil on Birch panel, mounted on a varnished wooden box. (Sold)
