Trumpet

In several of the art studio courses I took at Mississippi State, I was encouraged to render an image, destroy it and then work back into it. That’s just what I did here. Only this time I decided to explore imagery that was typical of New Orleans culture, jazz. It so happened I was working on a flyer for jazz musician about this time. It included a trumpet.

City Lights

Driving around on a rainy night, I was fixated with stop lights as
seen through a rain droplets on my windshield. This painting was my attempt to depict what I saw. I used stencils and then let drops of paints go where they wanted on top. I then accented the lightest and darkest areas. I include the photo below to give a sense of what I saw.
