<\/a><\/p>\nBeauty and Shoe<\/a>, oil on panel, 47×35.5<\/h6>\nBeauty and Shoe<\/em> is a recent piece and represents yet another nuance of direction. A painting like this is as much about design as anything. It’s on a big piece of bamboo panel, the tooth of which took the paint in a most joyful way.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Flamenco-Nimble-2-650.jpg\" "\\"Flamenco-Nimble-2-650\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nFlamenco Nimble 2<\/a>, oil on canvas, 48×36<\/h6>\nHere is another version of a painting I did (and sold) earlier. But it’s different in proportion and in approach to background with its random (not really) colors and shapes. Included are occasional gobs of thick paint and flying wisps of red for the sake of the motion of it all.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nFiesta Interlude<\/a>, oil over acrylic on canvas, 60×48<\/h6>\nAs with Flamenco Nimble<\/em>, the above image was captured first on my pocket camera. Anne and I were at the Orange County Fair and came across a whole group of Latinas dressed all folklorico, <\/em>waiting their turn on stage. People ask me how long it takes me to make a painting; this one took me about a year. I’d thought it was finished; it even hung in a gallery. A year later I saw what it still needed.

<\/a><\/p>\nRwanda Woman<\/a>, oil over acrylic on canvas, 60×36<\/h6>\nThis was from a photo I didn’t take. I’ve been to Africa a number of times but never to Rwanda. My original title was Rwanda Widow<\/em>, which had more pathos, and more truth. I didn’t want her to seem too forlorn, but here I am telling it anyway. Remember when Rwanda suffered the scourge of ethnic cleansing? Though that’s stopped, the memories don’t go away quickly. Who knows what’s in the mind of this otherwise stately woman, sitting on church steps?<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Portrait-Gallery-2-650.jpg\" "\\"Portrait-Gallery-2-650\\"")

Remember last month I talked about some of my art accompanying a chamber music concert? For review of that, see here<\/a>. More, I wanted to share just a one-minute clip of their music. I think you’ll agree that those few instruments, in the right hands, put out a great deal of powerful sound. For that, click below.<\/p>\n
