3 designs for plate paintings, each 11”, gouache on paper, ca. 1990
12:30 PM: as my break from painting continues, i’m posting todays painting of the day, which are actually three small 11” designs for plates, in gouache on paper, probably done in about 1990, when i was collaborating with a ceramicist in palm beach. the two faces are a reflection of my 15 years in greece, the time spent in the studio of my friend and mentor, yannis tsarouchis and my study of the byzantine tradition.
as i gaze at them at a distance of about 20 feet, tacked to my east painting wall, they read remarkably well from a distance. i hadn’t considered including them in my september CMC ASPEN exhibition, but now that i look at them, the two faces would be an interesting compliment to the walls where my GAZE series paintings will hang.
