For the last several years, most of my artwork has been in storage. Although I had taken photos or scans of some pieces before putting them in storage, there are still several things to get images of. So it is satisfying to have access to the things themselves again.
Both these pieces are done in acrylic.
This seascape was done from a photo I ran across in a magazine somewhere. The strange coloration and lighting was part of the original, and it made an intriguing challenge to me.
The second painting is one of Mikhail Baryshnikov from a television special he’d done in 1980, Baryshnikov on Broadway. The show has Baryshnikov doing dance numbers from several musicals. The painting is from the number from A Chorus Line. I call the painting “The Singular Sensation.” I’ve always been fond of this one. I’ve also wanted to do another painting from that special from the Guys and Dolls number, but I’ve never had a chance to do it. Maybe in the not-so-distant future.
As I continue sorting through things and settling into my new life in Las Vegas, I may be posting other pieces of older artwork.
