Anybodyinthere? Painting

Anybodyinthere? © 2020 Media: oil & mastic on canvas This painting is a composition of rectangles and trapezoids in umber and indigo shadows and bright seashore landscapes. It is a double exposure, a layering of two images together: one of them is the view out of a window onto the shingled wall of a cabin with the view through a second window to a sun-swept grass meadow and a thin line of ocean at the horizon. In the shadows of the foreground room we see a curved kitchen faucet and shelves with some glass shapes like pitchers. Within these blue-greys and umbers cut three tall windows looking out of a porch onto a semi-circle of red adirondack chairs seen from behind on a larger version of the green meadow with a very long line of blue ocean at the horizon, blocked, here and there, by dunes and shrubbery all sun-blessed in pale lemon greens, olive greens, and sandy hues. In the window on the left, a girl has bent forward pushing her hands and her nose up against the screen, looking in with her lower lip caught in her teeth and her eyes wide.
