A Visionary Fantasy
A number of people have told me that this painting
reminds them of the Beatles' animated film, "Yellow
Submarine." I saw that film when I was in college.
Back in those days you had to go to a theatre to see a
new feature. No VCRs, no DVDs, but at least you could
still make a phone call for a dime. There is always
give and take, advantage and disadvantage to
everything.
This work is based on soapstone carvings that I had
been making from chunks I had gathered up near
Camp Eighteen in Feather Falls.
A figurative abstraction.
