Blue Gate
8x6in oil on panel SOLD
Artist Note
This certainly is a tried and true painting.
I wonder how many blue gates
I have painted?
It is a genuine love affair...
They always sell but that is not
why I paint them. I see them
and there is a tug in my art-heart.
I have never been attracted to a
brand new,
smooth as can be, perfect blue gate.
I feel the pull of the slightly askew,
weathered ones with texture galore.
The sun out here is brutal on any
wood and paint
so lots of my type are around.
