The Warehouse
6 x 8 in., oil on panel
sold
Sometimes the subjects I decide to paint surprise me. This old warehouse wasn't much to look at, but I liked the shadows and angles--and the old unreadable, faded signs. I also find a gravel / grass foreground fun to paint; I can get a lot of energy and direction in it to lead one's eye into a piece. The grass and gravel were an important part of the composition here--allowing me to place the warehouse off the panel a bit more than would be typical and to focus on shapes rather than a particular building. That made it trickier to name, until I got really basic and went with the obvious. :)
