Imaginary horizon

Trying out new modes of working to distill down to favorite symbols.
This is my first painting from imagination rather than a photo.
Larger version of endless horizon. Inspiration remains my train view

Sideview

Infini painting

Third phase of train horizon. Sense of place that I normally focus on for work has broken into glimpses from a train window - seemingly disconnected bits of picturesque marsh, punctuated by refinery, housing tracts, ship graveyards, dumps and small towns. Started out building these in a square format, but am now stretching out sideways, making it up as I go.

Warhola

Late train entertainment. Warhols Cousins and near familydiscussing
what they thought he created while in the USA
Day 2 on the marsh painting makes me wonder how worthwhile it is to
spend much time pre-intellectualising my pieces. Tonight, i painted
over some middle rows and turned em into an elongated horizon. I may
stick with the idea of interchangeable panels since it seems relevant
to the train view, but I'm leery pf it as a mark of indecision in
composition or (worse?) the urge to add a gimmick to make painting
have a dialogue with the current installation style art. Despite my
digi-schooling (watching documentaries of real artists)
my best effort still comes from a spontaneous place. Subject is just a
seed which ideally leads
to a flow of light and color. Deliberate efforts are currently
taking me to a dull place. Hence, some comedy...
