| Afternoon in the Parque, 22x38”, colored pencils, graphite, watercolor
Apr’24 - Sep'25
|
That's Parque Guell in Barcelona... a family trip in 2005. The reminiscing and storytelling began after 2 pitchers of Sangria... my older daughter recounting a tale about her sister, which brings the 2 across the table out of control, holding their heads in laughter. Their cousin, on the right, 10+ years younger, isn’t sure what to make of my crew's outrageous stories and humor, and gazes out at us, inviting us into the scene. I wanted an energetic, chaotic scene, but it took 18 months of starts & stops, almost abandoning it, then changing media and style for me to make compositional sense of the chaos. Watch a 1-min video with the original pics and step by step development of the work.
