FINAL PAINTING:
"Midnight Bball" 36" X 48" Acrylic On Canvas.
It took courage to challenge myself to just start painting, to put on canvas what I knew and felt about Midnight Basketball. I deferred from painting graphic details to painting my impression of the experience, attacking the canvas as it were an abstract attempt to depict movement frozen in time. Images of youth participating in and totally lost in a Zonal focus. It was challenging to keep the composition moving leaving details to impressions of what the figures and faces were doing and expressing.
