First painting above finished 8/2/07:
donated to a benefit for the Whispering Hope Ranch and the Arizona Humane
Society. Second painting photographed 8/4/07 is a band painting in progress.
It's about color and movement.
I'm working very fast with the paint. The paintings are completed in a
short time with loose strokes and not a lot of modeling. This style is
about which methods best translate the feeling, the excitement, the power
of music experience into form. Overlapping of the arts:. Music inspires
the soul. Art has the ability to bring that inspiration into form.
Color (warm to cool) and value
(light to dark)is used to make areas come forward in space.
In two dimensional art, space is
an illusion created by the magic of color, value and placement.
Movement in art is created by patterns
and repetition. By creating a direction in the painting an artist allows
movement across the space of the canvas. The eye will follow shape, line
and color. These combinations create a dynamic that forces the illusion
of movement around the canvas.
2007 New Landscape Paintings in
Progress
In progress: all potential, all
promise, in transit, no end.
Note: These paintings are about
color and movement. The dynamics of the painting are placement of objects,
overlapping, repetition, pattern, and bright colors. The eye travels around
the canvas to attach meaning to the shapes and colors, creating the feeling
of moving objects.
Color!

Abstraction: not real, fun, lively,
colorful and using image to catch attention. The theme is expressed by
the use of shape, color and emotional content.
Bizarre and Funky, looking for
the edge in life. Outrageous, Non-essential, Obsessive, Totally Ridiculous
working toward chaos. It's not about keeping boundaries intact or staying
inside the lines of reality.
