"Opening"30" x 30" acrylic and collage on canvas
Here's my first new painting for 2011. I'm already thinking about a Snippet for this one!
So you know how things start serendipitously showing up in your life when you're looking for inspiration? Well, I was reading the Sunday "Pink Section" of the San Francisco Chronicle that James' Mom always sends us. There was an article about Javier Bardem and his new movie, "Biutiful" and he spoke to the fact that some people might find his new movie too somber. I loved the way he compared it to the work of Francis Bacon. Hope it inspires you too!
"I make a comparison with Francis Bacon's paintings. Some people can't take his paintings because he is too hard and they go out of the museum and go, 'Wow, that was too tough for me. I feel sad'.
But some people stand still in front of his paintings and they see what is behind that drawing. There is compassion. There is love. There is a man who wants to create love out of that paint and bring passion to those characters, and that is what I think this movie is about." ~ Javier Bardem

Hi Linda, Oh my, this is beautiful! Love love the colors. I have to confess I'm not a very big fan of Frances Bacon's paintings.
Hugs to you,
