Two Views

The value of imagery to convey multiple meanings is without question one of the most important aspects of art and the role of artists in society. Trying to consciously use that aspect of imagery is challenging but a worthwhile goal for me. "Two Views" uses the visual differences and similarities between us to reflect on the variety of view points we express and the is sameness of our life goals.

This one is done Casein paint, a water based medium and one used traditionally used as a underpainting for oils. Casein ultimately dries to a stable surface but has an extended period when it can be rewet and reworked. Once completely cured it can be buffed to a satin sheen.
