Desert Kachina Totem

My Arizona Collection has expanded again today.  This particular piece began as one thing -remained rather obstinant for quite a while - before evolving into a desert Kachina totem.   

Enjoy another trip to the desert!

Day 4: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Feb. 2018

Everwish

In August I participated in Art Unraveled, a series of art-related workshops which lasts for a week in Phoenix.  I had the pleasure of taking a workshop with Sandra Duran Wilson.   The painting below was begun during the workshop and finished at a later time.  I enjoyed Sandra and the information she relayed. It was an excellent workshop.

As a bonus, I happened to be the winner of the grand prize offered at Art Unraveled!  I was gifted with a huge basket of original artwork, jewely, art prints, supplies, stencils, stamps, etc. - all uniquely crafted and/or supplied by participating artists and vendors.  

If you have ever wished you might be the recipient of a wonderful surprize - here you are - Everwish...

View from the Forest Floor

If you look closely, you will see the subtle, raised texture of the leaves and plants of the tropical vegetation - as seen from the unique perspective of the tropical forest floor.  The use of light molding paste provides an interesting tactile experience for the hand and the eye!

Day 30: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Sept. 2016

Melding Body and Soul

Thank you for partnering with me on this thirty day painting odyssey. We have traveled to many places and utilized many visual components.  Today, it ends as it began...with the symbol of the Sri Yantra.  As can be seen in many of my paintings throughout the thirty days, the image of the Sri Yantra appears frequently in both obvious placement and more obscurely in the background.  As noted, mantras are geometrical designs based on the principles of sacred geometry and are often used for meditation.  [See Days 1 and Day 2 for more information.]

This piece utilizes a good deal of texture along with transparent pigment.  I see it as the melding between the physical and the spiritual.  To me, the 'spiritual' is represented by the image of the Sri Yantra, while the 'body' is represented by either a woman in a hooded cloak or a whale breaching the sea.  What do you see?

Spiraling Out of Control

This painting is either spiraling out of control or it's having a bad hair day. :o)  In reality it features molding paste on 140 lb. watercolor paper.  To me it is whimsical, happy and makes me smile.  Who doesn't want more joy and fun in their life???

Day 14: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Sept. 2016

Google Earth Dual Diptych

Today the two individual coastline paintings have merged into a Dual Diptych.  The water presents its layers of depth while the coastline meanders in and out.    The Diptych can work in two ways - as an inlet and also as a jetty.  View both possibilities and let me know which diptych coastline you prefer...inlet or jetty...it's like getting four paintings in one!  

Enjoy!

Google Earth - Shoreline 2

If you have seen my painting from yesterday (Google Earth - Shoreline 1), you will notice that today's painting Google Earth - Shoreline 2 is its companion piece.  It is a continuation of  a portrayal of a coastline as may be seen via Google earth, including the subtle (and not-so-subtle) variation of the water color.

Tomorrow will be another surprise - be sure to check in!

Google Earth - Shoreline 1

Having spent a good deal of time sailing the clear, turquoise waters off the Florida Keys and the Bahamian Islands, I became quite proficient at navigating shallow waters based largely upon the color of the water.  Avoiding shallow, jagged coral reefs is a really good idea for the boat's keel - not to mention the reef. :o)   I wanted to portray a coastline as may be seen via Google earth, including the subtle (and not-so-subtle) variation of the water color.

There will be a surprise tomorrow regarding this shoreline piece - be sure to check back to see what it is!

Enjoy!

Day 22 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days - January, 2016

Color Cascades  

As parts of the country become buried under record-breaking snow, it is helpful to remember that cascades of color-laden flowers will one day return when winter melts away.  

The painting is heavily textured and laden with color - meant to bring a joyful nod of hope to the future .

Day 30 - 30 Paintings - 30 Days, September, 2015

Seattle Sun

I rarely know what is going to manifest before I begin the process of creating an abstract painting.  For me it is a very intuitive unfolding that may begin with a fleeting thought, a shape, a color - pretty much whatever.  For the final day of this 30 day challenge, I can't honestly explain how or why the notion for this particular painting found its way to my studio - but it did.  

Perhaps because something about the composition reminded me of the Space Needle, the title 'Seattle Sun' emerged.  As a former Seattleite, I have an intimate knowledge of the feeling of the city.  

I have very much enjoyed this 30 Day Painting Challenge.   It was a joy each day to see what was going to make itself known.  

Thanks to all my artist friends - former and brand new - for your comments, ideas and encouragement during these 30 days.  
It has been great!!!

Shell Trilogy

More mixed media using molding paste, mono-print on paper, collage and other design elements.  Also more pesky shells... As you may remember from Day 6, to me the shells symbolize being on the correct path and the fact that there are many ways to reach a goal.  It's a worthy theme for me at this time.

Working on this painting was an interesting journey.  It seemed to keep changing with each minute - hence its name.  This is where it seems to want to remain - at least until it doesn't...

Spirit of Autumn

I enjoyed the evolution of this painting.  From humble beginnings it slowly grew into a highly textured and colorful expression of what I envision the Spirit of Autumn may embody.
