This painting is about balanced composition and ambiguity as one is at the edge of his comfort zone. Strung between the horns of a dilemma, will he break free of the past and leap into the void - the risk that life is - or not?- B

Clown
16"w x 24"h acrylic on canvas, 1996

I gave up on this painting and painted over it.  I liked the qualities of it but couldn't get it to settle into a collection of forms, textures, and color that I was satisfied with.  It never got "whole and complete" insofar as a match with my esthetic sensibilities, and I had not identified those esthetic values such that I could find a way out of the problem.  The same thing happened with "Cartoon" below. - B
