The Night Tree


The Night Tree
12 x 24 inches, acrylic on canvas
$340.00
Opening Reception for "Come on Pilgrim" at the Cameron House, Sunday, May 2nd 5-8pm
with the Ron Leary Band. See post below for info about "the Night Tree" and her companion piece. I took a couple of minutes and looked around my studio/apartment. It's a bloody disaster, really want to get back to some sense of order in here, it's going to take a couple of days, wow, what a mess.

I've been staring at these trees for weeks, they were two of the first things that I began that were "new" for the show (scroll all the way down to February 28th entry, don't bother) and got moved to the side, I'd tried a couple of different approaches with them in regards to figures and tones, but was never happy.

I think what I arrived at over the past couple of days works quite well in regards to the shape and layout. I was complaining about how frustrated I was, "They are just two 12 x 12's side by side! Twelve x Twelve it's what I do!" and was getting quite fumed about the whole thing, but we got to this point and now I can briefly exhale and finish the three/ four other pieces I need to get done for the hang at the Cameron on Sunday.

with relief,
