Day 12: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Sept. 2016

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 11: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Sept. 2016

Indestructible Spirit

Indestructible Spirit reveals the continued American Spirit in the wake of the heart-breaking disaster of this day in the past.  It shows the split in our collective psyche - but also the healing aspects that have allowed us to go on.  It  bestows hints of metallic gold and bronze in the form of acrylic mixed media on canvas - including a painted clay piece, a leather-looking painted paper piece, a mono-printed surface and of course several healing Sri Yantras...

Peace...

Day 10: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Sept. 2016

Between Worlds

Today's painting is a shift to a more quiet, cooler palette using acrylics on 140 lb. watercolor paper.  To me it has an ethereal quality that floats upward.  What do you see and feel?

River of Life

Today's painting has been in the works for a while.  Usually my paintings evolve rather quickly.   This one took it's time.  It includes a bit of mono-printed paper, foil, and layers of paint.  Note that the source of the river of life is...you guessed it...a Sri Yantra.

Enjoy!

Zip It!

This painting began as one thing - and ended as another.  One of the things I love about painting abstractly is the necessity to problem solve in order to enable a piece to evolve to its ultimate potential.  It seems to work both vertically and horizontally - you can choose...let me know...

Red Towers

We have journeyed from the powerful standing stones of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland yesterday to the ethereal Red Rocks of Arizona today.  It was a nice trip, right?  

This piece is painted on 140 lb. watercolor paper and mounted on a wood panel. It is the latest addition to my Arizona Inspired Artwork Collection...

Day 6: 30 Days - 30 Paintings - Sept. 2016

Callanish

This painting was inspired by a profound experience while in the presence of the standing stones at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.  It was June, it was 10:00 p.m. and the sun was still shining.  What was even more surprising was that aside from a flock of sheep - we were the only (seemingly human) beings there.  The ancient site is massive - roughly the size of a football field - and the towering stones stand majestically in a Celtic cross formation.  It is truly impressive.  The bold colors and design  in the painting are indicative of the strength of the experience.

The closest town to Callanish is Stornoway, population about 8,000 - which by-the-way happened to have an amazing Chinese restaurant (hence the Chinese papers incorporated in the painting).  Although mixing cultural symbols, if you look closely you may actually find a Sri Yantra or two.  It's time to get the Celtic symbols out...

Enjoy!
