This week opens a big show curated by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod.
It’s billed as “A Major Exhibition of Over Fifty-Five Cape Cod Artists” shown at the Cotuit Center of the Arts. The exhibition is called First Things First.
I was free to choose any painting, and I quickly chose a new 18×24″ canvas of Harvard Square in Cambridge Massachusetts. This piece has a bit of Out of Town News on the left side, looking down Massachusetts Avenue. Actually this is one of those paintings that I thought was complete, but chose to live with it. After a while I knew it was not quite finished but not sure what it needed. I put it away out of site… for TWO YEARS! and forgot about it.
When I found it again recently, I knew instantly what it needed to finish up strong. I moved a few things around and took a bus out of the painting, and it opened up the middle to recede wonderfully. Funny how the creative mind works.
