This oil diptych is 11x28. When I finished the left side, I wasn't quite satisfied, so I added on, and it works much better now. The flat roof segments at the right balance the vertical building segments on the left. The physical split is a repetition of the visual splits. That's the way it worked out. I didn't really plan it that way in advance. When I originally saw this field surrounded by a fence and buildings, I thought of the paintings of Richard Diebenkorn, who has always been one of my favorite artists.
