A Winter's Tale

Ice crystals and carrolers,
glass ornaments and a hint of Olde England...
a jolly red evergreen; thus,
"A Winter's Tale"

Spring Awakening

Easter and Passover seem to be a good reason to re-connect.
This image, also a crop from my Original acrylic, is quite different
from all previous work and is the first image to be digitally altered.

Only the color and hues have been altered from the original painting.
In tribute to the sculptor, Giacometti, I look to minimalism to see which hues reveal the most information;and here I see success in the
revelation of the amythyst-robed figure floating effortlessly
above the Early Spring garden barely noting two lovers embrace
in the lower right corner.

Remembering Paris

C'est La vie en rose...
It appears to be the most impressionistic, in flavor,
of all my details to date. What Do You See?
My focus and impression is on the sunlit cheek of a once elegant white-haired
woman in purple feathered chapeau, head slightly bent,

reflecting on images surrounding her life and times in Paris
years gone by.

I also see a piece of added amusement:
the painter in white smock at center bottom,

fully bearded, facing right (I chuckled).

Childhood Dreams

Thank Goodness for 2011 and all the new energies..... This image is for Marisa who celebrated her 15th birthday in October; which gave me the idea to channel an acrylic for someone other than me! The original is far from colorful, but once it's digitally documented and studied, I find all sorts of imagery appear on my monitor.

Thanks, Marisa, I really enjoy this image!

Pretty in Pink

WELCOME the NEW YEAR!

And with it, new colors, new textures, new images...

"Light wrapped in Color"~

a progression of 7 years automatic drawing...

Now, side by side, take a closer look,

and tell me, "What do YOU see"?

Journey of My Soul

"...the spruce-wood mast that rises tall,
I'd happily forget them all..."

~ Nilsson

When I cropped this image, I had the immediate sense of a Chinese junk as opposed to a whaling vessel; something I am more accustomed to.
In different lighting, I thought I saw the actual element WIND blowing from the right; full sail out of port.
Safe passage, a happy feeling.

Sacred Cave No.1

"In the firelight's ruddy glow; bygone memories come and go ~
Sit with me and days recall, as the evening's shadows fall."
