Polaroid SX70 oil painting

Polaroid_SX70_wkoopmans

This painting has been sitting waiting to be finished for far longer than I care to admit.  Now that its done I want to move on to something new and what currently interests me.  I have the canvas, I have the paint and I have the image in my mind, time is what I need.

This particular painting is part of an ongoing series of images of cameras and film that I have been doing.  It began with “Made in Occupied Japan” which was included in the first Fraser Valley Biennale and from time to time since I have done a painting that fits in the series.  Yes I realize in posting these, I am photographing paintings of things that relate to taking photographs that I sometimes use for paintings, but thank you for pointing that out.
