The first painting of '25 and the next in my "Home Land" series. This one is set in Wyoming sort of (at least that is a version of the Tetons in the background) as I try to vary the landscape locations in this series. I felt that I should stop painting in lonely farmhouses and think of a variation on the theme and came up with a lonely car traveling through a vast landscape instead which I quite like as it gives me other possibilities and will lead on to the next painting that will have a lonesome car in it too. The metaphor of the home and the car within a vast landscape both hold up within the general theme behind this series so that is a handy development in terms of variation of content. The lighting is influenced by what I saw on my recent tour of US National Parks in the South West.
This the eleventh painting that I'm happy with of the fifteen I want to paint for my solo show "Home Land" coming up at the end of March at the Abend Gallery, Denver CO.
Oil on canvas 31 1/2" x 12".
There is a step-by-step progress through this painting in previous posts on this blog.
