A New Painting: "Three Shapes"


Three Shapes, egg tempera on calfskin parchment, 6 1/4 x 4 3/4 in.


I titled this painting Three Shapes although, of course, there are many more than three; but three is what we are most aware of, one atop the other in the center of the painting. I like the idea of those holes in the surface, each one unlike the other: different shape, different personality. This isn't one of my best efforts, but after abandoning two paintings before this––they just weren't working––it was good to see one through.
