About This Artwork
This is based on a corner of Golden Gate park.
I was originally interested in thecontrast between the light and shadow in the foreground, but I soon realized that in order to get the trees in , I would have squeeze the foreground. I did this, and it worked nicely. There is a man sitting on a bench under the trees whom I would ordinarily have left out, but his presence seemed to give a sense of the scale of thing.
Having decided to leave him in, I saw that he was sitting in a pose similar to Rodin's Thinker, and I decided to name the picture after Rodin, which accounts for the kind of whacky name.
A photo of the painting was published in an article in International Artists Magazine, and another will be in a book called Best of American Pastels, which will be coming out shortly.
The painting seems in retrospect to mark a step in my continuing journey into free color.
Giclee prints may be available depending when i sell it; so contact me if you are interested in prints.
