2020 Weekly Paintings continued

  I have not painted every week, but I have painted. Adding to the 9x12 paint studies: The first is a memory of Maine's coast, but the rest are life in isolation staying safe from the virus. Fibonacci cat was a fun response to a conversation with a friend about the patterns in nature. The path was painted as a memory of a walk in September nearby. 'In like a fog' is part of a pair, the second not yet complete. (October comes in like a fog and goes out like a bell. Just finishing 'out like a bell')  'Morning rain dissolves October' is my attempt to paint a long elusive impression of what rain does. You may notice my mug becoming a bit of an 'Avatar', and I expect it to show up in future paintings as well. (As does my cat, Tucker.)  The last, October 31st's 'Blue Moon' borrows heavily from Van Gogh's vision of the night sky. I wanted to somehow convey the magic of that moonlit night.
