I thought it would be interesting to posit process via two images of the same work- from an early iteration to its current (and I believe completed) state. DIMS: 24'x36" primed canvas. The undercoat is a charcoal wash that has been tempered with oil crayons (sky and sea)- the buildings/structures are layers of graphite, charcoal, oil crayon, oil and acrylic paint. It's titled "Italy, After the War." My older and too soon deceased brother, Stevan, was born in a DP camp south of Naples (Eboli). This is a fragmanet of dream/imagination/cosmic transference.
Here are the two iterations:
1st iteration- not bad but there is a vagueness that is dishonest and it just didn't capture the range I was reaching for.
