My friends offered a spot in their show to me and I had nothing new ready. In fact, I hadn't painted anything in about two years due to moves and marriage and jobs and the like. Still, I wanted to participate. So, inspired by the likes of this and this, I opted for my own minimalist design.
The whole thing is done in acrylics, and the hardest part was lining up the tape to get straight lines. It was fun, but it was a rush job and I didn't quite get the reaction I had been hoping for. (The biggest problem was that no one knew what a Saturn V was. When I explained, I got a lot of, "Oh, now I get it." Better than nothing I suppose.)
Anyway, I still like the idea of minimalism and I have a few more ideas, but I think they might be better expressed somehow other than as acrylic paintings.
Painted in Sept. 2009, acrylics on canvas.
