Midwestern Farmhouses and other Ungrayed Things

And other things from my five-painting workblock last Sunday. I can't remember if this was before or after I got mad at all the art and deleted the artist website. (In my defense, none of it was behaving.) But I didn't physically trash and burn everything, so we're good.

First up: Midwestern farmhouses. Photographed on work trips. Loathed for grayness and squareness. Translated to eschew both things.



A new layer on an old draft. This is the kind of painting for which I have a separate artist name, because that's a naked lady...


Another new layer on an old draft. This one's still driving me crazy. What's new.


And finally, the obligatory first attempt at a take-off on Charles Angrand's "The Good Samaritan." Inspired by a trip to the Phillips's amazing neo-Impressionism exhibit.


Looks like I also didn't bother posting the latest Boston skyline effort, a painting of a photograph of the Harbor Islands and city lights coming in from the air at night. 


And these other newish layers on older draft things also exist.
