Porcelain Ships Painting

(64" x 70") acrylic, watercolor, spray paint & ink on unstretched canvas In this scene, the viewer is confronted by a naval scene. Facing the bow, we observe from the deck of a ship, warship perhaps detonated by the guns on the deck as in the distance a ship is a blaze. This scene of aggression, simply warfare, is enclosed in a decorative frame perhaps, like deckled edges. Referencing porcelain plates and designs, which commonly followed americana or traditional motifs. Such of naval ability was fostered by the Early American Republic and was a hallmark of success. No figure is shown as more important than the scene surrounding him. No face is more important than rope or mast. There is no hirerechy of form or purpose to be purveyed in this scene. There is no good guys or bad guys, no clear patriotic values. Stripped of all this, such victory scenes become subjective. Is this tragedy? A horror, frozen, yet alive...well the paint is alive, and hence brings a sense of vitality to this picture.
