A WORLD OF LIGHT AND SHADOW (2011)
Acrylic on Gessoboard - 20” x 40”

I’m as surprised as the next person when some of these ideas come to me and tell me that they need to be painted, especially the ones that come in my dreams. 1/3

On a green steel girder under a highway overpass, a young woman in yellow tank top and denim shorts lounges in the sunlight, laying on her stomach with chin resting on the back of her hand and elbows propped on metal reinforced with huge rivets. Playfully she kicks up her feet behind her as she glances out at gray cloudy skies. Indirect light shines through a break in the distant clouds. A dodo ventures toward the edge of the structural support, which is painted in a flaking triangle of caution yellow. At the very end, an apple dangles on a string in the open air. A pale yellow of streak of sunset lines the bottom of the panel but so high up, no ground is in sight.
