After a couple dozen studies of soda and beer cans I launched into a large scale painting.  It took several weeks to finish.  As I’ve mentioned in the past, scaling up paintings exponentially increases the working time.

The idea for the series has slowly come together. At first the cans were an exercise in color mixing and painting reflective surfaces, but as I worked on them I saw a deeper meaning.
