I did this around the beginning of 2016. Acrylic on canvas, 18x 24. I had high hopes for this surrealist piece. I must admit I am pretty dissatisfied with it. The background behind the bridge is weak. The legs and shoes could use way more definition. And I think the biggest problem is that the rear foot does not really appear to be stepping with any real weight; it does not have enough bend to have realism.

Oh well, at least is a good study for what to do differently next time.

Welcome to Art in the Hudson Valley!

 

I did this way back in 2012. It is acrylic on canvas, 18 x 24. I used my own photo of a defunct drive-in movie theater in Maryland as reference. This was a great chance to practice landscape elements. I like the subject matter: A remnant of what was probably a fun place for many, passed by, no longer relevant. Just a relic of a different time, soon to be taken back by nature. I like the general looseness of technique. I am pleased by this painting overall.
