Cascading Heavens, Melting Moons

There are days when traditional painting just goes out the window and not a part in your soul or body wants to paint an observed reality. This painting is a product of one of those days...when fantasy is my reality.

A couple of details:

Dark Pond

I just can't stop painting ponds. It is almost like therapy to me, it relaxes me; kind of like my comfort zone (blanket). Here is another small pond, night scene, early winter when the pads start to yellow and brown, the lillies retrieve into the water, and it seems that the pads shrink and cozy up against each other in a circle.

Yellow Boat

This is an oil on heavy acid free art paper. I wanted to paint a dark water background and a boat as still as possible. I painted this small Painting-A-Day a few days back.

Pink Mums

This oil painting on Acid Free Linen Paper has a charming and cozy feel to it. I am kind of liking to paint on heavy paper and I will probably experiment with heavier rag watercolor stock pretty soon. Perhaps the fact that I did so many architectural drawings for so many years gives me a comfortable level when approaching a tool to an absorbent surface such as paper. It took me back to a class that I took with Mauricio Lasansky in which we actually made paper from pulp, strained it, molded it, and ran it through a press to flatten it. I was very young, in college, but I remember it being lots of fun. If I only knew then what I know now I would of challenged myself to learn more from a legend in graphics such as Lasansky.

Flower Red Vase

Oil on Acid Free 110lb linen textured paper. I had so much fun painting this oil. One of those that flows from the brush onto the surface effortlessly. I hope you enjoy it too.
