Untitled watercolor, 19x27”
The assignment: paint a night scene on a full sheet of watercolor paper. The biggest challenges: preserving the yellow glow without making it look like yellow snow, and layering my dark colors so they aren’t totally opaque. I figured I had better share this one before winter is officially over!
The work of the late Gene Deitch– A clip from the animated short; “In The Night Kitchen” based on Maurice Sendak’s 1970 book & a trio of Oliver Hardy-inspired bakers!
The boot sequence, a sort of comical version of the Kama Sutra, is in fact the film’s climax, replacing the stag party’s orgy of heterosexuality which would be the high point of a more typical narrative. Instead, Stan and Ollie must be satisfied with - and perhaps prefer - each other.
