Painting Process | Miracle on The Hudson
Following the miraculous crash landing of Flight 1549 in the Hudson, I was compelled to celebrate on canvas. This piece, which was recently sold, began with a New York Post cover and some drawing. Process after the jump.
Painting Process | Figure Five in Gold
The moment I saw Demuth’s Futurist Masterpiece – The Figure Five in Gold, my life changed. This symphony of red and gold graphically carved into a piece of cardboard represented everything a picture should be. Simply put, I had to have it.
A quick glance at my bank receipt showed a total savings of $54.12, which I estimated to be approximately $19,999,945.88 short of a possible sale price. Realizing it would take me at least three weeks to save up the difference, I set out to recreate Charles Demuth’s picture and make it my own.
To share the process with you, I have included a step-by-step pictorial of my journey. While it is a thrill to share my morning coffee with a bastardized version, the feeling pales in comparison to mere a glimpse at the real masterpiece.
