#250 Christmas Eve Sunset

Welcome to the 250th post on the little blog that could. Hard to imagine that we'd be here, 250 posts and thousands of views later, still putting out weird paintings of various shapes, sizes, hues and textures. This one came out of a confusing Saturday night where I just decided to scrape away the confusion and ended up making something that looked like a drunken Christmas escapade. The image might appear a little blurry, and I may try to take a better picture of it but it could be that this is actually how it looks, which is somehow even more appropriate to what I was trying to capture. I don't normally add a gloss of words to the images, but it felt necessary in this case somehow.

Flotsam

Trying out a new shape here, with a wider narrower panel. Also imagining some kind of series, perhaps a diptych or a triptych of sorts. Also starting to wonder why so many of these things are imaginary depictions of coastal scenes somehow. This one looks a lot better in person, mostly because of textures you can't see here, but also because the colors are more striking in real life. Plus it's two feet wide.
