Blue Warehouse

     Blue Warehouse

     19"x24", oil on canvas

After 20 some years later I still had this image of the warehouse I stumble upon when I was walking around in the beach town. When I was standing in front of this blue warehouse I felt such a wonderful sensation of bliss. We every once in a while experience this unexplainable  sensation of happiness with no reason, lucky me, was this color of blue against mauve color of evening light or just evening air of the place I don't know but one thing for sure I was standing there enjoying the sensation of satisfaction being alive. To recaptured the moment I went back to the spot but unfortunately the warehouse wasn't there anymore due to new development or something, sad but can't stop the change of time. So I thought may be I can capture the sensation through my painting and painting from my memory and I only remembered only what was important for my painting like blue warehouse which actually had a lots of colors in it, transparent pink in the background and best of all the blue color of the air, soft lights hitting the side walk and oh I put a puppy for the scale. I needed lots of softness and brush strokes to balance out against lots of straight shapes in the picture. Painting from memory helps filter out unnecessary details remembering only essentials.
