Sometimes a work of art just flows. This is one of those times. I started with a canvas toned red. I dashed in some guiding lines to structure the painting. In contrast to many of my works, painting this felt like a dance. I finished it in four hours--a record for me. I got to a moment of satisfaction and I put the brushes down.
"Spring Dogwoods at the DC Temple"
1995, Oil on canvas, 22"x28".
In the private collection of Robert and Marilyn Brinton
(All of the above photos of the painting stages were
taken in different lighting, which makes
the color of the paintings appear different.)
