Following my path - filling in my story.



36 x 36 each

These three typographic nudes where sketched out more than a year ago. They speak about being presented with two very different life paths I could take.

One path is about following my selfish needs and remaining in a protracted adolescence. The other path is about learning and following my principles, and stepping up to be the man that I am.

In each of these paintings, as in my other typographic nudes, I am the light color that the black shape tries to constrain and the color field supports.

Looking back, these paintings were anticipating future choices – choices for which I just had to pay attention. Now ask yourself this: what in your life are you not paying attention to that might be helpful or serve as a warning?

  1. These are beautiful Nat. I am surprised I did not notice this post in my GReader earlier!

    Actually, only after I had read your write-up, did I really understand what you had in mind. But then, loved it.
