Description Acrylic on paper, 23' x 18', June, 2007.
A landscape painting from the South of France, one of my favorites. I took some photos at this spot overlooking Caunes, did a pencil sketch, and painted it back in the studio.
Before starting, I primed the paper with some gesso that I'd tinted pink, which gives the whole picture a nice warm quality.
The style of this one is inspired by Wayne Thiebauds late paintings of the fields and rivers in the delta region near Sacramento, California. I was also influenced by Kevin Brown, who was painting next to me in the studio every day.
Our workshop leader Glen Moriwaki said this painting of mine demonstrates that I could in principle let go of my science-fictional imagery and produce landscapes that are fantastic and dreamy without any additional props, and he's right. But now and then I still like to paint SF things anyway.
