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.
If you work in traditional or handmade media, and you’re the tech-savvy type, then you’ve probably already heard of Etsy. If not, think eBay for artists, their art, and art appreciators. I set up a shop and listed my first item, a pop art portrait of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.
