Description
In the early 60's my family acquired a small, roundish, black and white TV, a prize that was often the resting place for the family bobcat Hopi. On New Years day, we'd fire up that TV and sit around watching the Rose Parade with all those beautiful flowery floats and strident marching bands. Since our TV was a black and white model, we had to imagine the colors of the flowers, and they were transformed in our minds eyes from various shades of grey, to glorious glowing reds, yellows and pinks.
Well, another New Year is dancing through our neighborhood, and my palette knives are reminded of all those bright imaginary roses we feasted on at the beginning of each new year. What fun to be swimming in all those cheerful colors, and a dancing cat too!
This one is painted on a canvas that I stiffened from behind with cardboard, just to give strength to the canvas during the painting process, and make it easier to mess around with my painting knives. It worked well, and I really enjoyed painting on a bigger surface.
