My digital camera finally died, so I can’t photograph new daily work until the new Nikon arrives. Meanwhile, I’ll post some images from larger paintings, many of which are not for sale. This one is in Italy from the many cross-cultural studies I have led to that country. In the left panel is the little house in Illinois where I was born, so the painting is more than scenes from Italy, but rather a series of places that have influenced my life in some way. I like to do composite images either as separate paintings that can be exhibited as a series or as in this painting a series of panels within the same painting. This allows one to go beyond the idea of a single window on the world to the concept of multiple ideas that come together in our thoughts. Our world is so multi-dimensional that it is difficult to think in terms separate single concepts today. Everything is interrelated so this format allows those kinds of ideas to be presented.
I’ve not done small daily paintings from Italy, but this summer I hope to do a series of Italy images, so keep tuned in to my blog for future paintings.
