I finished another in my ‘corpses in cul de sacs” series. This is the biggest one of the bunch at 40x30 inches. As is always the case, the painting took on a life of its own and dictated where it wanted to go. It wanted a lot of Mars red apparently.
Many of these pictures were from snapshots I commissioned from a friend of mine living in Santa Clarita, where I went to art school. It is the ultimate suburban sprawl town. Of the photos he took, this one with the towers in the back were my favorite. But I avoided painting the photo because I worried that the towers would be a bitch to paint. And oh boy they were. But I’m glad I got this out.
