Yoga Sunbeams, Deer
digital, 2020
My muse leads me. This year has been mostly women. I did The Three Graces with two 48"x36", acrylic on canvas. I dont know how many digital images I made. At least twenty. My intent was to do the same image in many different styles. So , I created the same figures in styles ranging from painterly realistic to cubistic to I dont know what to call it. Also, I have done some painted driftwood pieces.
There have been several images of women dancing. In the clouds, in the forest and so on.
Next, I thought, "Yoga, eureka!". This px shows a yoga headstand, in the forest, with a deer. The inspiration picture of the deer came from a trail cam that we set up down by the creek. I follow my muse along a path that is beautiful.
They have changed the format of blogger, and I dont know how to get the writing in the place where I want it. Tech can be so annoying. I would rather be painting or gardening.

Yoga with Pelicans

One thing leads to another. "Yoga with Pelicans" has for a background a photograph of an acrylic on paper painting, that was worked up in Photoshop and then used with a digital image of yoga woman.
"Three Graces, Streaming", is a continuation of a suite that I have been working on for about six months. Graceful women have shown up in my created images for more than a couple of decades. Since the 70's, at least. I have a steady stream of creativity with one thing leading to another. The images evolve, the women change their style, from relatively realistic to abstract. From the pure love of the Christian Mary variations, to the strength of warrior woman. The Greek Artemis and Roman Diana, are examples of warrior women that have occurred in the creative stream from as far back as the human race can remember. Why do I do this, I wonder. I want to create an impression of ideal femininity for myself and for viewers.
