So it begins…

With a boom.

A flash.

A downpour.

Summer.

I am creating new original paintings for my upcoming show.  I do a lot more digital work these days, so it is a nice change to go back to more visceral creativity.  I am recreating some of my pieces from 9 years ago, but with a different twist.  Unfortunately the camera I had back then didn’t capture my work well enough for large prints.  But these can go as large as 48×60!  Now that is big and definitely “Standing Tall”!  Happy Sunday all…..

Accidents Happen…

Accidents happen….But sometimes they are pleasant surprises!  This piece was one such oopsie.  For those that work in Photoshop you know what a clipping mask is.  I was working in one space where I had created one and one layer accidentally went over another and I realized that parts of the bottom layer were included in the clipping mask (accidental) and this most beautiful pattern emerged….I kept moving the top layer until it covered the entire bottom….magic!  Pure magic!  Now I will have to try to replicate this “accident”.  I love creating art ….so much fun!

I am playing around in “space” again.  I love the abstract nature of our Universe and I am always amazed and inspired by the imagery sent back to us from NASA.  This piece depicts our Statue of Liberty with an active chaotic nebula as a foreground.  She stands through it all….

I recently had an opportunity to stay on the 10th floor at the Lido Key Resort in Sarasota, Florida.  The view was spectacular!  Each evening we liked to sit on the balcony and watch the sea and sky with our dinner.  One night it got really dark and the sky became an ominous blue gray.  The sea looked black and spooky.  Out of nowhere this lone bird came into view just as I was snapping a photo.  We went inside, but he had “No Fear”…

It’s that time a year again in Florida….hurricane season!  We start logging into NOAA daily to see what is forming off of the coast of Africa.  We listen to the news a little more closely and when the warning is issued we stock up on canned goods, water and batteries.  I’ve lived in this beautiful state my entire life and I have survived many nasty storms including major hurricanes. These things are quite humbling….you realize just how powerful Mother Nature really is.  But I would not live anywhere else…..I just keep an eye on the sky….
