DETAIL: Winter 2005: Cold Air IN PROGRESS
This memory-based work in progress is in it's earliest stages. I want to start building the central points of the memory right from the first brush strokes of the background/base.
In my mind's eye, there's some very vivid visuals in this memory:
- An electric, living, blueish darkness. I'm layering washes, texture and color to achieve this multi-dimensional darkness.
- Rushing, horizontal movement. I'm applying most of my color in horizontal strokes.
This piece is about one of my favorite memories of my dad. It had to do with him being completely courageous and fighting for me in the face of a seemingly hopeless and dire situation.
I thought it would be good to start this piece as Father's Day approaches. I don't plan to gift it to my father but this is a good time to reflect on one's gratefulness for their father.
