Cellular Communication

Cells, because of their shape, attract Source energy.

Color and light amplify the attraction.

Wondering

I found this little experiment to be worthy of note.  I have frequently used Yupo - primarily with alcohol inks and watercolor.  However, I was curious to experiment with watercolor ground on Yupo. On the right-hand side below, I used watercolor ground over Yupo.  The effect of the ground can be seen as it creates a slightly rough surface that mutes the color.  

The advantage of using a ground is that it can turn any surface (i.e. glass, plastic, etc.) into a surface over which watercolor can be used.  I decided that in this case, I preferred the raw Yupo to the ground-covered surface.  See what you think...

Sedona Vortex

Today brings a heavily textured, somewhat ethereal depiction of a Sedona vortex. As a landscape it underwent a few iterations before it found its comfort level.  The use of coarse molding paste give it its rough surface.  The rest of the painting rather painted itself.

The Grid

I'm enjoying the underlying grid that peeks in and out throughout this piece.  Once again, the metallic copper color does not come through in a photo - but adds an attractive sheen to the woven  elements.  There is also an airiness that pervades the piece.

Quarkiness

Ah - Quantum Physics - Today's piece gives hints of quarks - up quarks, down quarks, plus electrons, protons, neutrons, etc. These are important to us as artists because they are the molecules of color bubbling up from the imagination.  To me color has energy and life which reflects formerly unseen creativity at the molecular level.

I used acrylics on mineral paper.  If you haven't tried mineral paper, you may want to experiment with it.  It is made from calcium carbonate and has an amazing texture that feels much like suede.  It reacts nicely with acrylics (or other water media) and is slightly absorbent, allowing for soft edges.
