I am working on a series of 10 paintings that view America through the lens of acrobats. I ride the train to Philadelphia daily and use the people standing on the platforms as my models. I have to be pretty quick about it. But I am enjoying putting them into situations that require balance and skill. The nuances are the tough parts of course. By the time I actually paint this series, the details of the face will be a very important part of the meaning of the series. I don't mean them to be clowns or acrobats. It's all metaphor. We'll see if I can pull this off.
