Hot Sauce


SOLD
Hot Sauce
36x36 Oil/Canvas

This is one of the larger and more ambitious paintings I have attempted in quite a while... there was a time when 4'x5' was a standard size for me. Then, one day, the realization that sometimes big is just big for the sake of being big, made me take a look and start working on my process in ernest, yet on a smaller scale. There were places I wanted my painting to go. Now, after several years of working things out on what became an increasingly smaller scale, I feel it is time to apply those lessons learned on a larger scale once again.... maybe not 4'x5' right away, there is still plenty to work out... but it is a possibility.

This is my favorite painting I've seen you do Greg. All the elements work and the narrative is great. Also like that quote by Leffel. We're following somewhat similar paths, I used to paint big too, it was always ego gratifying if nothing else.
