While I built the canvas for this piece at the same time as the corresponding 24″x24″ I completed early in October, I only just finished painting the 36″x36″ today. I wanted to come at the color scheme a little differently this time to solidify a conceptual double-entendre. The piece is subtitled “A Hazy Shade of Winter,” which reflects the monochromatic blue tones I used, the time in which it was worked on, and a track by the same name from the 1968 “Bookends” album, from which I derived the source photo.

The first link in this post takes you to the post concerning the completed 24″x24″ variation of this design. That piece sold to a buyer in Texas via Etsy shortly before Christmas.

Above is the painting hanging in my parents’ living room, to help demonstrate scale.

I have one more 24″x24″ canvas I built from this material, and am not sure what I intend to do with it as of the time of this post. Maybe a John Lennon? The paisley pattern has a lot of historic and social significance, and the content of the painting should harmonize with that.

This painting, too, is now available for sale in my Etsy store.
