All These Fine Memories... Painting

Interested in this piece? Contact me directly for info on price and shipping. “All These Fine Memories,” is from a series of artwork that focuses on the abstraction of recognizable patterns of expression, once commonly found in personally handwritten lists and correspondence. My initial source of inspiration for this series of work came from The Palmer Method of Business Writing, a book of penmanship instruction dating back to the late 19th century. In it, Palmer dissects and closely studies the making of each cursive letter of the alphabet and then creates drills consisting of repeating patterns for practicing handwriting. See description under "Put Me In Your Blue Skies" for more details about inspiration for this series. Some texture can be seen in the distant grasses (light orange color). The handwriting content pulls lyrics from the song, "Eid Ma Clack Shaw," by the musician, Bill Callahan. The artwork is acrylic on canvas with finished edges (medium grey), wired and ready to hang. If desired, the artwork could be framed but it’s not necessary.
