Description

November in Fountain Square Park.
Watercolor and India Ink on Arches 300pd Rough Paper

My first art exhibition in my new home town of Bowling Green, KY was named "36 Views of Fountain Square Park." Yes, I borrowed Katsushika Hokusai’s 184-year-old exhibition name “Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji.” In Hokusai’s exhibition, Mt. Fuji is created using Japanese methods at that time: color, perspective, and design with no conventional methods used by Europeans such as cutting off figures in a frame, long, thin paintings of people, low horizons and painting the same view over and over again. I said to myself" what a great theme for my exhibition" and that's how "November in Fountain Square Park " was conceived.

As Hokusai portrayed Mount Fuji in different scenarios such as in the background within a tidal wave, I wanted to paint different views of Fountain Square Park. I choose this project for two reasons, first, there is a lot of material to choose from when you paint a park…seasons, people, events, night, day, etc… and second, I am from New Orleans and there is a tremendous amount of artwork depicting the city, yet when I moved to Bowling Green, there was very little…hence my show had a terrific theme (plus I love to study the masters) and excellent timing!
Thanks for stopping by…yay clap clap clap!!!
