This is the horizontal view ( the vertical view is another story.) This photo was taken at the Sunrise Civic Center Art Studio on Saturday, September 27, 2014... just 9 days ago.
My approach was carefree, sans any particular influence. The music on Pandora station was playing but I don't recall who's music it was.... it was just right for the moment, otherwise I would've changed it. I was working on three paintings in sequence, moving from easel to table to another easel ... back and forth, turning the canvas and the cardboards around as I pleased.
The results were intersting but not spectacular: three more or less abstract
paintings.
After cropping the photo I noticed something or rather someone: a girl in a blue dress... and I saw that she was sitting on a bench in front of a large abstract painting in a museum of art. So I posted the cropped photo on Instagram with this special title:
GIRL IN BLUE DRESS IN FRONT OF THE ABSTRACT PORTRAIT PAINTING.
In this work there was no particular intent to portray anything, but I remember seeing a coffee cup/mug emerging...with eyes and ears - and then I added another cup... for the company. I don't recall exactly what I was thinking while painting, but I rememer what I was feeling: freedom.
My friend Nathalie aka "the fourth viewer" saw a nun in a blue habit and a monk in a white habit. According to Nathalie's interpretation the monk is fat, bald and angry; he has a rosary around and under his hood, and a rope around his waist.
The nun is looking forward, and the monk is in 3/4 view, looking or gazing back.
