Payton II Acrylic on hardboard 8"x8" |
Summer festivals are everywhere. Yesterday I played clarinet in Sigs band in Forest City, Iowa for their annual Puckerbrush parade. Forest City is home to the Winnebago Motorhome annual rally. Afterwards I played in the Forest City Municipal Band in the city band shelter as the community ate their chicken dinner in the park. It was a perfect day and I couldn't help but get a little emotional as we played our final selection of Stars and Stripes Forever. I couldn't help but appreciate such an exceptional day, with community hovering around enjoying our music and each other.
My painting I am highlighting today is a second painting of Payton. (see July 14) I like the abstract negative spaces in red that surround her. I also like how she fills up the picture frame.
I've also been eating so much watermelon this year! I like this painting a lot.
