Car-nation

“Carnation,” 36 x 48,” oil on canvas, 2007. Sold.

One of my favorites of the layered series. I smell the smoke drifting with the scent of the flowers in a moving vehicle on a rainy street. The hand of the driver holding a pull-tab aluminum can throught the curve of the steering wheel. It’s a romantic setting to me, a lover of water and rain. The slippery feel of the reflecting headlights, and the silky colors of flowers all recollect in a memory that never happened, except on canvas.
