This first view is cropped a bit. The

reference more obviously. |

Cup-Bored 11/02 (re-touched from 99) Oil on masonite panel 14 x 18" |
This painting was originally from 1999, a series I started around 1988 of cups, various degrees of cup reference, some like this one, pretty abstract. The main change I made to it is the red... it was green and just never convinced me that it worked whereas it's an entirely different painting red. I don't know if it will ever dry. Some of the cups came from images generated by elementary kids I taught during residencies for the Georgia Council for the Arts. But the cup image is appealing to a coffee addict like me and that old biblical reference crops up, "...my cup runneth over." Most of the panels I did were given backings that lifted them off the wall, giving a floating feel. I've done abstraction and would do more if I weren't giving up painting. It's all there in a figurative painting but sometmes you don't need that reference. The second view is dappled a bit with sunlight. |
