In March - following my latest journey to Savannah, Georgia - I completed a series of small studies of various subjects in that city. I was not concerned about the final product, but more the process. The goal in these studies was to work loose and fast. I also wanted to experiment with a lighter, more colorful palette than I usual choose when painting. The first was a small canvas depicting a pink mansion on Gaston Street in Savannah, seen from a side street. Using the color pink was especially enervating, since I rarely have the chance to play with it in my work.
"Savannah Study #1: Gaston Street Mansion." Oil on stretched canvas, 8 x 10 inches. Completed March 2013.
