Deco Sky, watercolor, 1976, approx. 28"
X 17"
Story
Ideas for paintings often come to me while driving
or flying on long trips. Driving on a beautiful summer night, enjoying
the stars out in the country, I thought about a stylized landscape that
would use a pattern of light and dark in the sky rather than the haphazard
arrangement of stars in the actual sky. I had always loved the Deco pattern
in a bathrobe my father bought in the early 1940s. (It had hung in a closet
in my parent's home my whole life, and I never saw him wear it.) This
pattern became the most important part of Deco Sky.
