Ancient Profiles

Seems like a very long time since I have posted anything. This has been a busy fun summer for me - taught a class at the Quadrangle, for those of you who are unfamiliar with Springfield, that is our museum group; but mostly I have been painting, not these but several large scale acrylic paintings for Better Life Whole Foods on Allen Street in Springfield, they will be installed by the end of August, so if your local stop by! - OK now back to these two 11x14 water colors which speak to the building of humanity as well as the structures those humans built. The brick red man could be looking down into a tomb, or the womb of the earth, while the alabaster woman is gazing down upon the oracle at Delphi. I don't know what made me block out their faces because they were not drawn that way at the start of the concept, but I think that is what makes the paintings.
