New Paintings
There are new pictures on my website www.johnfirestone.com
They are primarily of portraits and still life’s from my new 4’s series where I am painting the same subject 4 different times and displaying them together. Sometimes Velasquez is my subject and I jump around from portrait to portrait. It was fun – and I learned a lot. I would appreciate feedback. My wife Nadia will also be showing with me and she has a great new body of work to show off as well. I don’t know what I am supposed to be learning from these series and I don’t know why I have to paint them – but there is something there for me even if I cant describe it artistically just yet. These last two series are leading me in a better direction to my goal of one day being able to make great art.
