going back to basics. Working and reminding myself what these basics are-thin darks and heavier lights. Dr. Chang says "think of spread on a bagel, if you want more you don't press on the knife too hard, if you want less apply more pressure."
I am thinking of a general sense on how I perceive the subjects in my paintings. I can only put a stream of experiences to describe the image: the song by Frank Sinatra, a barely remembered poem about Chicago..something about big shoulders, pop culture thoughts like prohibition and gansters, great pizza, baseball, lots of guys that look like me (baseball cap, bearded, slight beer belly) Guinness, el trains, bridges, biting cold etc.. Does this make sense?
