Description

5/18/2022 TOP FINISHER in the CONTEST titled The Past Two Years on Fine Art America, 275 images submitted
4/3/2021 James Cain Jr, Juror of the contest titled "A Painting You Are Working On Right Now" , I won First Place April 3, 2021, my award is : "AWESOME"; 15 entries in this contest
This is still UNFINISHED oil painting, 39 x 24. I started in the winter of 2020 and ongoing with revisions to be made. I will upload the final painting when it is done and more reproductions will be available then. After weeks of isolation and winter I had to get outside and then became drailed from this work to accomplish other priorities, I do hope to return to finish it sometime soon.
So far the title will be "The Broken, The Seclusion, The Isolation, The Solitude, The Pandemic" and it is about a cluster of feelings and thoughts I have about these current pandemic and isolated times. This is a personal yet universal and expressive painting. I have written a full page of poetry which I am also continuously revising to go with this work of art which narrates a bit of a description about the things in this work. .
I left the painting and poetry on the easel last spring 2020 as I had been wintered in and working in isolation for many months and when spring arrived it was time to leave it and go outside as much as possible. I am hoping to return to finish this soon, but have some other works I started ahead of this. I have more ideas for the revisions and changes on the right side. This is painted in layers as I varnish in between the layers of paint to build it slowly.
I thought I would share the progress so far as I am not sure just when I will be able to return to it. The NEW NORMAL has been challenging me all year long, eating up a lot of creative and work time.

How did I miss this?! What a profound and meaningful work of art this is. It is like a collection of dreams simultaneously displayed for all to see. There is sorrow. There is fear... loneliness... longing. But I also see hope and comfort. You paint deep my friend. This is certainly another favorite from your astonishing gallery of masterworks. Love what you do. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
