NEIGHBORHOOD WALK

DAY 21

My Street Fighting Man, gouache

When I am moving through spaces familiar or unfamiliar, I get a lot of ideas about painting. Whether I’m in the car, on my bike, or on foot, the sensation of scenes moving past me at variable speeds always inspires new painting ideas. Walking through your neighborhood is an intimate process that suggests both private and public space. For this painting, I was looking into my neighbor’s backyard one day while I was out for a walk, and I was fixated on the juxtaposition of their classical female statue next to a very masculine pickup truck that hadn’t been moved in quite some time. The textures of the two objects appeared connected, and yet completely different in a charming, contradictory fashion. I took a few photographs of the backyard and did a few quick thumbnail sketches in my sketchbook to use as reference when I got back to my studio later that day. The painting is a combination of the photographs, my sketches, and my memory of the scene.
