Don't Forget to Swing oil/canvas 48 x 36 |
"Don't forget to Swing" is the first of a planned series of bucket list adventures. My goals in this painting were many....the frozen stop moment of a swinging tire....the laxness of the chains, the wind created by the back and forth movement. The most difficult passages involved the lessening of power of that big black tire which could easily overpower my small subject. Every shape creates a counter-shape and these are difficult to manage.
I might be done.
