Lanterns

The Lanterns and Cansters are distributed between The Escalette Collection of Art, The Huntington Library and the Estate.

Ten lanterns from thewindy slopes below Lone Pine Peak. Small paintings, all 6 x 8 inches on watercolor paper. Lanterns or lamps. Using up a small pan of Pelikan genuine gold watercolor that I think I've been carrying around since I left Los Angeles in the late '80s.

Rusty Tin Cansters

6 x 8 watercolors on cotton paper, 2014 and 2015.

Tree trunks look like torsos to me and I suspect that's where my anthropomorphization of rusty, flattened cans begins: reinforcing bands in the tin cylinder look like ribs, the almost severed circular lid flips up to form a head, the bottom kicks out and down to suggest feet or legs.
