Santanas Exuma Painting by BorbayIntroducing my final Art Exuma painting — the world famous Santana’s Grill Pit, located on Little Exuma. After Erin drove across the island to have lunch here with Jeanne, my Mother-In-Law, she returned letting me know this was a spot to paint. She was, as she often is, 100% on the money.
On Saturday morning, my Family embarked upon a journey… NYC to Miami to George Town. This isn’t necessarily a difficult itinerary, but we were with our 20-month-old, 6-week-old and enough luggage for two months. Such is the case, upon arrival in The Bahamas — we were thrilled. I’m now spending time in paradise as an Artist-In-Residence.
Four days after my second Daughter, Vega Keanne, was born, I began a new ‘Mindscape’ painting. It began with a free-hand, free-association line drawing. Once the drawing was completed, I painted colors devoid of specific thought. The experience is both cathartic and exciting.
Have you ever seen an abstract painting and wondered what the hell the artist was thinking? Well, here are my thoughts on the process of abstract painting. The title of this piece is “Mindscape” — but I’ll get into that later. It’s 20″X20″, Acrylic on Canvas.
When I began this picture in Plymouth, Massachusetts, I had no idea where it would end. Something about the atmosphere in front of the British Beer Company created a feel, which could not be ignored. I will let the process speak for itself, after the jump.
