Ok... this shot is from last night. It was pretty late andwhen I looked at the results of the foto shoot, I didn't think they were worthy. Today I feel a little different.

Shooting the fully saturated red paintings (and I've done a few over the years so that they have become a type for me perhaps) is difficult since the color is so extreme and the cameras I've used to shoot them have been unstable in capturing the color. There are modalities (not a precise term, but I'll use it anyway) to the colors when the dominant one is one like cad red that are there en vivo but are hard to capture by camera... and I think I like that quality.

Fugitive.

Here are a couple of pics from this morning:

This painting doesn't look like this.

The color is way off (too juiced up) and there are tons of subtlleties that are no where to be found in this representation of the painting. I was tempted not to post it at all. A caveat will have to patch the experience.

Ultimately, you have to see the painting, to stand before it. That's the way it should be anyway, even with fotos of paintings that are very good.

As I began this one, I began to consider the possibility of coming closer to figuration with the alternating use of a ridiculously fat line and skins of color (cool, in that they tend to erase the lines) to render... portraits for example.

?Como no?

Toward the end of the painting, I was a little less enamoured of the idea. But it's still apossibility.
