Water Color By Megan McAllister
This is an older set of images but I find it’s relation to what I am currently working on relevant.
With these two most recent post you get to see the history for which my newer work is built. This is of particular interest to me, to see where an artist is coming from and how their ideas evolved. That and I never really stop working on a project once I start, so I go back and forth. This is a way of constantly building and breaking off into new directions.
With these paintings it is where I started to work with the human form. Where is my last post I was focusing my attention on nature and landscapes.
The first three are paintings on top of magazines so they are about 8.5 x 11”; the last is on textured board around 6x12”. All in enamels
Here are some older works I am revisiting in a concurrent series to the landscapes in reference to the human body. I posted them because there is a lot of similarities and to show the multiple histories I am building from.
The smallest is the Sediment painting, at 1.5x2’; and then Architecture as Landscape and Costa Rica paintings, at 4x2’; Arizona is 5’ and the two panel is 6x3’. All done in enamels.
I will be posting some new works soon, as well as other paintings from the recent past.

Enamel and wood stain on Masonite with various clear coats. From the detail you can see the differences of finish and lines cut into the surface.
This is a large version of the study I was talking about earlier, the woman observed walking up the subway stairs and the view she presented of her underwear clad crotch.
On the larger scale that sense of land forms starts to take hold. It becomes this image that engulfs you as you stand in front. Mountains, a crevasse between the sides sloping upward, looking from a distance over a ledge. Similarly to the way you might observe the subject. The subtlety and forms are what draws the content together; and the scale that pulls the viewer into that space.
