Abstraction in Blue and Red

NO IMAGAE AVALABLE
24x36, acrylic on canvas, 1970 
Private Collection 

After a woman saw the painting that I had done for Marge, she was interested in a similar painting. I devised a similar feel to a painting using the same color but with an original design. It was framed with Luan attached directly to the frame.

As part of a watercolor class with George Dibble, the class went to Liberty Park (plein air) in Salt Lake City. There I did a watercolor which I liked and subsequently painted it in acrylic as an abstraction. It was framed with Luan boards attached directly to the frame.

I met a wonderful woman, Marge, who wanted a large painting for a new apartment that she was moving into on 7th East in Salt Lake City. I found a picture on the cover of a magazine and she liked it, so I painted a similar one for her. It is framed with Luan attached directly to the stretcher bars and then finished with Tung oil.

It was exhibited for over a year in a restaurant in Salt Lake City. In all the moves and inattention it became damaged, and I have since repaired it.
