Rising From the Depths

"Rising From the Depths"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard
Morning is so worth witnessing when there's a place to watch the sun rise from the depths of her nighttime hiding place. She brings with her such dandy colors and patterns and tosses them into the air with reckless abandon.

Sky, sky sky.  Does she know how to paint anything else?   Yes, and she's doing it behind your back.  Wait a few more days and you'll see.  Yikes, I hope so, anyway.

Fusion

"Fusion"
  24" x 36"
Acrylic on wrapped canvas
painted black border
Two elements, solids in their own right, collide. They swirl, liquefy and amalgamate. The synergy of their fiery union bears repeating. 


Please enjoy one of my favorites in the series of abstracted swirl paintings. Today's canvas is not only filled with swirls, some of them have developed tails, adding an active element to the mix.

It's warm, come sip ginger ale with me.

Fractalish Fire Dance

"Fractalish Fire Dance"
24" x 24" 
Acrylic on wrapped canvas
painted black border
Energy spun, twirled and whirled in this magical realm charged with saturated, hot colors—dazzling my senses.  

My intrigue with fractals continued as I explored the graceful curves of of several swirls in different sizes and colors of balls.  I even swirled the nearly dry paint into the circular shapes with an eighth-inch bristle brush.

Thank you for being here today.

Fractalish

"Fractalish"
24" x 36"
Acrylic on wrapped canvas
black and blue painted border
When I first saw Jock Cooper's artwork I was drawn to his computer generated images with Fibonacci swirls and a bold use of color.  Once we became friends, we both wondered how a painter would execute the essence of what math equations had done for him via a software program.  I assigned myself the challenge.  


This is another in a series of fractal-like paintings I made during this particular quest. I hope you enjoy the series while I work on a few more house portraits.

I always appreciate your visits.

Dessert

"Dessert"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard 
These three items were given to me on Valentine's Day. They ended up in Studio B (what I call my painting studio,  because it's the one below ground.  Studio A is my old studio, above ground) to be photographed. 


I did not photograph them, but did a quick little portrait from life.  I'm amazed at how easy it was.  I plan to do a few more of these food portraits.  I enjoyed the process.

Thank you for stopping in for Dessert today.  You get first choice.

Clementine

"Clementine"
6" x 6"
Oil on panel





Standing on stage alone in the spotlight with the audience below her in the dark, made Clementine self-conscious of her roundness.  She had put on a little weight since she blossomed a few months back. 

It seemed like a good idea to paint a single, simple shape on this slightly patterned background, so I did.  I am making more backgrounds of a similar design, and will post as I finish them.

This painting is listed with, and for purchase through a Dailypaintworks.com Auction.  See it in my gallery here.

Thank you for visiting today.
