The daily dose of art WINDOWS TO THE WORLD
Perhaps windows to the trees would be a more accurate description of this series of paintings. Several years ago I had fun with this concept and ending up painting at least 23 canvases and panels before I finished. They ranged in size from 12x12 to 48x36 inches.

ABOUT THIS PAINTING III
The WINDOW series:
Windows #1...12x12"
Several years ago I was playing with different ways of applying loose acrylics on to a panel or canvas, applying and removing paints with fabrics and paper. I ended up with the background on
the above painting. I knew I wanted to use it, but initially did not know how, until the approach seen in the above piece occurred to me. The idea was simple, select a color theme for the background, and use similar or complementary colors in the composition contained in the "window".
Of course I had to expand on this, and the Windows series was born, which eventually grew to over 20 paintings of various sizes and shapes, but all following the same general guide lines.
Windows #12...the largest in the series...48x36"
Windows #21...extreme horizontal format
Windows #24...36x36...with a variation on the window
They were fun to do while the series lasted and I haven't gone back to this format since then.

THE LAST OF THE HOT SKIES...
well maybe not the very last. But at least for now. This will be the last PLANNED painting for next month's show. It is sort of a throw back to the windows series I did 2 years ago. I guess I never quite got that out of my system.
Heat...acrylic...24x24
I'm not sure what's next. At times I feel like it is time to move on to something new (subjects, technique, medium,?) and other times it seems there is so much more to learn and do with my current landscapes. What I don't want is to become too comfortable and not push the boundaries.
