Good Morning,
While I was painting this, I couldn't help but wonder about the irony of the landscape.
It's very centered and even. Some would say to change it, make it uneven, it's too
centered. But this painting is of the landscape in Jackson Pollock's back yard. I took
the photo when I visited the Pollock-Krasner house in Springs, NY. This is what Jack
saw every day when he walked from his home to his studio. This very even, very flat
landscape. I have to wonder how he must have envisioned this scene. Something to
think about, I guess.
Until tomorrow,
Glynis
