New painting- Girl with Flame

New painting: My Dad 8/19
I’ve always been more comfortable portraying unknown people or from my imagination. It’s interesting and challenging to paint such a familiar face, mapped by decades of experiences, many of them shared. He’s slowed down since only a moment ago, but his familiar smile always shines through.

A few weeks ago my girlfriend & I spotted a struggling raccoon. She was stumbling in the street in a way that looked to me like she was suffering from brain damage, but not rabies. We could see the confusion in her eyes. Using the only thing I could find, a traffic cone, I kept her from going into the busy intersection. We called the police because animal control closed 15 min earlier at 6. The cop was nice and had a DPW guy come by. He unsympathetically scooped her into a bin and took her away, likely to end her life.

It was a sad encounter. I painted this to memorialize her.

Made a painting out of a recent unused ultra race logo idea. Found adding leaves brought the intimacy of the forest.
