I worked on these two paintings today. They are at the opposite ends of their cycles. I just started the underpainting on The Candidate (painting on the floor). The other painting, Phone Call on Main Street, is cruising into the dock. I’m not ready to tie it to the dock and cut the engine, but it’s getting there.
The Candidate is a good example of my current direction. In the background, you can see a newly-stretched canvas. Later today, I’ll start preparing the surface.
The Candidate is 36″ x 48.”
