PictureLong Beach, 2017, 22 x 28 Inches, Oil on Canvas
This work is based on a photograph from a trip my family took to California about twenty years ago. We took the trip in April, but the beach was very cold. I only have the print of the photograph I used as a reference-- no negative (it was taken with a film camera), so there is quite a bit of interpretation in the painting. It was important that there be a lot of empty space in this painting. I wanted this work to be simplified, for the beach and the sky to act as color fields and give a sense of meditative stillness.
