Third Eye Abstract

Third in line to do the work of the eternal. Not last but best. The sight to another dimension and the ability to perceive forever. A light that cannot be known and yet the best thing to ever happen to me.

Eye in the storm of life. A gift of another chance and a glimpse of paradise. Vivid shades of understanding and remembrance. Cool blue and passionate red. All colors of life and love.

Abstract reality and fantastic possibilities. Look carefully into the healing center of it all and see if you can find what it is you are looking for 🙂

I don’t wanna work, I just wanna bang on these drums all day….Thank you Todd Rundgren for your inspiring lyrics.  I think I will take that advice and stop working! Happy Saturday everyone. 🙂

Self Portrait

2014

Long before the Internet, cell phones and the modern day “selfie”, artists were hard at work creating self portraits.  It was a right of passage of sorts for some and for others it was just practical.  It wasn’t always easy to get models, nor could the average artist afford to pay.  So naturally, they turned to themselves.

Frida Kahlo is one famous example of an artist who mostly painted her own image. She is noted as saying:

“I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.”
― Frida Kahlo

I believe this is true for many artists.  We spend a lot of time in solitude working tirelessly to perfect our craft.  We curse to an empty studio when we are agonizing over a piece and we dance in delight to ourselves as audience when…

Outdoor Spaces

Outdoor places to enjoy. A circle around a fire is a pleasure on a warm afternoon. Waiting to light the spark that will bring heat and a conversation to remember.

Spaces to breathe and to relax. A place to call home and a country to enjoy. I sit here and ponder the beautiful landscape as I dream in color. A way to pass the time and a goal to achieve. I love the mountains and the valleys as they are in my heart.

I’ve been working on a few more new birds.  I tend to gravitate to what I know and what is around me in my Florida environment.  These are two favorites.  Enjoy!

Colorful Shrimp

Something a “little” different.  The lowly shrimp seems pretty uninspiring until you take a closer look at all of the beautiful lines, curves and detail in their bodies.  When I added some color, suddenly he became a lot bigger. 🙂

2014

Today is one of those days where I just don’t seem to be able to get anything done! I’ve been spinning my wheels all morning and have gotten nowhere.  Dryer is broken. Needed groceries.  Dog is injured and needs care.  House is a mess.  And another site wants my artwork.  So here me “Rooooaaarrrrrr”……

Aspen trees splendor in the colorful Colorado autumn season. Aspens trees typically grow in large clonal colonies, derived from a single seedling. Each individual tree can live for 40 –- 50 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived. In some cases, this is for thousands of years, sending up new trunks as the older trunks die off above ground.

Here is a scenic view of Colorado’s Longs Peak, 14,256 feet above sea level, colorful autumn aspen trees, a deep clear blue sky above and a children’s swing set playground in the foreground. Though it fit the scene and title.

Lots of autumn images to post in the coming days… stay tuned.
