Nice work. Great illumination. Thanks for sharing your progress. ;-)

Aah, a new work and as welcome as ever. As always a delicate beauty in such man-made surroundings. The love/hate relationship is so strong. It is good to see something new on Open Museum. I am as guilty as anyone in not posting new objects.

Thank you Martin and I’m looking forward to your next post!

The light, the light, the light, the light, the light!! I can see 8 different sources and types of light illuminating the figures in the foreground. Astounding work Marc!

Portrait_bust_detail

Thank you Jerry! It’s all about the light of course. Light is great subject matter for painting because all of the parts of the painting have to agree to convey it.

Hah! I see your trash cans in there. Your studies have paid off! Great painting of a depressing space.

Those trashcans are good mini-voids. Linda is holding a gallon of OJ and getting some waffles out of the reach in..

Sweet!!! No I want to go there and play around. I sometimes wonder what it would be like to stay over night in one of those places.

Sounds fun- I’d try it too, but I bet they have a night guard.

Sublime work, as usual! And a subliminal suggestion of how sad these spaces can be:

Haha! Good catch Jerry! I knew I should have put something sexual in the lights on the wall so everyone would want it like they used to do with liquor ads… next time….

Wonderfully sterile and aseptic – makes even a tacky place look like somewhere worth visiting! Nice work a always, Marc

Thanks Grady! Sometimes the tacky places are the most worth visiting!

Wow – this is actually making me hungry. Been avoiding fast food of late – no craving for it, really…UNTIL NOW, DAMMIT!!!

Thanks John, I’d like to be able to say I find this stuff disgusting, but it has a siren call as well as a less appealing side. Sometimes the worse stuff just hits the spot!

I totally broke down and went to In n Out after you sent this.

Yes, catsup- oil paint’s edible cousin.

I’m pleased to see a new piece of your on Open Museum, Marc. Its all gone quiet and I need to do more myself. Brilliantly creepy, as usual; I particularly like the little droplets of Coke on the underside of the lid. Its those very small, almost unnoticable but perfectly observed things which say so much in your work. The ketchup is very well done, very tactile.

Portrait_bust_detail

Thank you Martin! It’s fun painting something like ketchup as it’s almost like painting paint. Oil paint has a similar shine and viscosity. Hope to see more of your work on here soon as well!
