This is a painting I just took in for the Christmas show at the community art center/gallery. It’s completely out of my head, a palette knife painting, and I had a wonderful time smearing it on. I have been mightily impressed lately by the paintings of Ben Frank Moss now on display at the Hood Museum at Dartmouth–landscapes all done from memory, very abstract. He’s just retired from the art dept. at Dartmouth. Last night we met him at a dinner party–a nice, thoughtful man. I don’t think I could ever paint the way he does but his work does inspire me to free myself up some.
