A New Painting Movie

Please take a 10 minute break and watch my new movie - a start-to-finish of the most recent painting "Actor". And turn up the volume - you'll be serenaded by Dean Martin as you enjoy the video. It's on YouTube, so hopefully everyone can view with ease. Click here to the YouTube movie. I hope you enjoy it.

I've been expanding my studio this past week, painting a little bit in the evenings, and instead of doing a couple of small pieces I kept on working on this new painting. It is a bit larger than the usual sizes I offer on eBay, and I wanted to experiment with how this composition would look - the figure close up to a huge piece of artwork that pretty much takes over the entire space. I thought it might be too busy, but really I like how the figure is slightly hidden in the scene. The painting that the woman is looking closely at is Henri Matisse's "The Moroccans", which hangs in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
