Shadows have always fascinated me and this oil painting surely brings it in to focus. I think in this new series of paintings I have been working on, my desire is to continue to edit, refine and simplify as much as I can has been surprisingly difficult. Things are beginning to morph more and more into abstraction as I try to make some sense or have some control over the canvas. It has been very challenging to paint this way and to do less instead of more. One small, wrong, stroke can put things off and has to be corrected. A value that is off just a bit has to be fixed. I am enjoying this process though and have 3 more paintings that I am working on that are somewhat similar to this that I will share soon.
