SS Rain
oil on cradled panel
11" x 13.5"
2010

This one's a little bit more whimsical than the skull painting, but I worked on it at the same time and finished it this afternoon. I was at my pal Shawn's recording studio two weeks ago listening to his latest work, one beautiful piece he recorded was called Rain. I went home and quickly drafted a one page film treatment for a short film based on his composition. Paper boats feature predominantly in the film concept, so I though I'd make a small still life study to go along with it and get some more painting experience to boot.

    Cool - I like the design of the clouds. This little boat seems cradled by the elements around it.

    I love how you used sheet music for the boat, it gives the picture a fantastic feel.

    Very cool painting Denny. Like that you used music sheet. Has a surreal quality about it. Poetic.

    Thanks, Daniel, this painting does remind me of a stage setting- imagine that boat 8 feet high.
