We left off last time with my introducing a new genre I’ve called “Women from the Back.” I showed a couple, along with the drawings that preceded them. In the future I’ll show more, and paint more. Sometimes these are by design, starting with intended photography, sometimes they’re more random in their beginnings. Such was the case with Movement in Cadmium<\/em>, shown below.<\/p>\n

I wanted to paint something big. I didn’t even know what it would be. I took a bolt of canvas I keep around for such occasions, cut a big swipe, and stapled it to my studio wall. I got out my acrylics, mixed up a batch of warm color and started covering. I added water to keep it moving . . . and to let any random drips happen as they would. The idea is to keep things sort of under control and sort of not. It was after all that when I went to my collection of accumulated resources to see what I might paint. I found a tiny photo of seven dancers I’d come across some years before. Of the seven, four fit the shape I’d established and I was off and running.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The canvas stapled to the wall, in process with le peintre.<\/em><\/h6>\n

And wah-LAH (okay, voila<\/em>), it was more “women from the back.” As seen in the photo with moi<\/em>, it’s of pretty good size, too big in fact to fit in our van. That can be a problem, and often determines how large I paint. At present the finished piece is hanging at Starbucks Coffee across from the mission in San Juan Capistrano. Next month it’s headed to a gallery, that is unless to someone’s living room, dance studio, or with all this French, a private chateau<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Moving from French to Spanish<\/strong>, another fairly large canvas that appeared from nothing last month was San Juan Vaquero<\/em>. It’s from a photo I shot at the Swallows Day Parade this year in San Juan Capistrano.<\/p>\n

The scene is pretty much as it happened, but the streets in the painting are back to earthen, and the horse is more like a Palomino than whatever-it-was, for the sake of color harmonies. The size was determined by a frame I already had, cut down from a larger version that wouldn’t fit in the car. (Amazing how these practicalities influence our lives.) The frame turned out to be a perfect match for the painting, as shown in the picture below with the finished assembly propped up in one of the rooms in our house. It, too, now hangs at Starbucks, not a block away from where the horseman trod and I took the photo. It also will move into a gallery in a month. That is, unless it finds its way first into someone’s villa . . . or rancho . . . or just nice house.<\/p>\n

We left off last time with my introducing a new genre, “Women from the Back.” I showed a couple, along with the drawings that preceded them. In this issue I show another, one that I didn’t see coming myself. It’s pretty dramatic. Then there’s another large piece, from an altogether different genre, “Cowboys from the Side”? Take a five-minute look and tell me what you think. PS I’ll be in Boca Raton, Florida this week, doing some painting as “performance.” Maybe more on that another day… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":851,"href":"https:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81\/revisions\/851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/egallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
