Painting Paint

 
 
North Rustico is a wonderful small fishing village on Prince Edward Island.  It is populated with rustic groups of old buildings.  Recently I used many of these buildings as reference for a series of paintings based on tight, almost abstract compositions painted with realistic detail. 
I was hoping that by saying less about the building as a whole, I would say more about the poetic quality of the aging process and the movement of time.
In this technological world when the pace moves faster and faster, I loved the idea of peering through the age worn paint and rippled windows into slower, simpler time.
