Backyard Snow
We finally got a respectable snowstorm out here and I went out back with ArtisticInTent to commune with it. This work in progress is a quite bit more expressionistic/chaotic than my usual, but its part of an idea I've been working on for a while, which is to incorporate the feeling of the whirling snow directly into the painting from the beginning, rather than establish the scene and then add the snow on top. Even though I started out very loose and unplanned, it wasn't long before geometrical and structural elements began to emerge from the mush.

Debt
Ink and pencil on illustration board
7" x 10"
This piece is currently in the juried show "Red" at ArtWorks Gallery in Ware, MA.
I started with the idea of "in the red" and "red ink" and the image of people drowning in a sea of red and struggling with debt in its various aspects.
