Winter 1 & Winter 2

Winter 1 and Winter 2 Michael R Fontana Fine ArtThese two paintings were completed in 1990 as a floating pair, designed to allow the viewer’s attention to drift back and forth between the two works. The painting style uses a combination of one cool and two warm colors combined sparingly throughout the canvas, in turn, overlain by white fibrous coating. While the painting’s titles suggest a snow-related scene, the name is solely based on the season they were created in. In this way, the casual observer is not drawn to a predetermined thought but can move about the mind freely. The paintings were completed using semi-gloss, oil-based, and latex enamel house paint on unprimed canvas and each measure 3 ft. by 5 ft.
