This is the third of a series of paintings I've been (slowly!) working on.  The others were posted on April 30.  I have liked working with just the figure.  I like exploring the idea of the person without a context.  I think about how we pass each other throughout a day, coming into each other's existence for a split second, maybe a little more, but then pass and never see each other again.  These paintings are a way to explore that and, also, a way to prolong the moment.

"Purple Boots" (sold)

20"x10"

Oil on Board

 

I have been totally immersed in an illustration job the past couple of weeks and just got back to painting! I have missed it so much! I had "purple boots" laid out to paint 6 weeks ago, but like my roughing in so much that I was intimidated to finish it! Yesterday, I just figured what"s to lose?!!! I needed to just paint and let be what will be. I am reserving judgement on this one as I don't feel like I'm seeing it very objectively right now! What I CAN say, is that it was just very satisfying to be putting paint down!

Here's the larger version of Kaitlin texting. My past few paintings have been experiments with a different color palette--adding different reds, blues, pthalo green and alot more white than I am accustomed to. By the time I finished this painting, I was missing my regular palette of colors alot! I do like the softness of the pastel colors on this painting. I also have another view of Kaitlin walking down the street that I've begun with my traditional palette, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it will be different.

We were on our way back to our painting class when Kaitlin stopped to text and sip at her soda. As I look at this painting, I'm thinking about what could be done differently like letting the dark underpainting form the tone for the chairs on the left, the overhang above them and the cars on the right. I started another painting of this subject when this was finished, but ran out of time. Tune in tomorrow for version #2!
