Riveted by Timothy Horn
I’ve been painting Airstreams for over 12 years now, and lately I’ve been exploring new ways of painting them — something other than the entire trailer shown in an interesting setting and composition. I’ve been more and more interested in the image reflected in the trailers, especially when I paint them larger. With these two paintings, I’ve cropped so tightly that you lose sight of the object in context, and are instead presented with the reflected image. The dull shine causes the darks in the reflected image to appear lighter and the edges to appear softer than if the trailer had a fresh mirror polish.
