Rose Dancer

 

Rose Dance

Rose Dance

digital work, archival inkjet print, 5/21

There is something spiritual about this picture.  A beautiful, feminine dancer is ecstatically merging with the graceful lines and vibrant color of an exquisite rose.  I think that it portrays the height of joy.  An epiphany of light.  

Created in photoshop for archival ink jet prints. This is similar to an image that I created a few years ago.  I used the same female silhouette from an earlier picture.  

The openness of her posture shows an abandonment of worry, escape from the nagging of daily reality.  A portal has opened for her to a higher level of spirit.  

When you look at this, I hope that you are aware of the human potential for joy. I hope that your heart strings vibrate with vibrant color.

I was surprised when this figure showed up.  I think of my style, I do try to stay on a stylistic consistency path, but my Muse insists that I do not follow any rules strictly.  I think that my work lately and over the long hall aspires for luxe, calme and volumpte.  This picture is not calm, it is vibrant with ecstatic energy.  I enjoyed making this, I hope that you like looking at it.

The really satisfying aspect of using Photoshop is that I can reuse, rework image items.  I dont know how long I have been using this body of a figure, a year?  maybe two?  It is like using a stencil.  The wings, color and background are changed, a new mood is created.  I have a collage using the red and black, Coco figure.  I need to get it photographed so that I can post it.

 Tree with Ice Sparkles

2/2021

How long did that freeze last?  The Louisiana record freeze of 2021?  About five days of freezing weather,  below 32, some nights 26 degrees F.  Here in the subtropics, we felt like we were in Alaska.  Then one day, the ice was melting.  The ice cycles were dripping.  I looked up to a vivid cobalt blue sky and saw a leafless tree sparkling with a million diamonds.  I was amazed at the beauty.  I went for my camara, the battery was dead.  By the time the battery revived the ephemeral beauty was gone.  But, the image was engraved in my head.  So, I made this digital painting.

 

Tree, Yellow on Orange

Ink jet, limited edition of 50, print on archival paper, 2/16/2021

The brilliant colors in this art work depict a contrast between the natural pattern of the tree and the geometrix pattern of the diagonal lines.  This recent work continues a long stream of creations, spanning  many decades.  I follow my muse, she dances around, leading me on paths that diverge and reemerge between my favorite subjects.  

A joyful, life affirming creation that expands my happiness and the joy of those who follow my work.

Resting on Couch

limited edition of 50, signed, archival inkjet print, 1/2021

Well, here is a picture of a woman relaxing comfortably.  A bit of a change in subject matter, because usually my women figures are very active.  They dance, they fly, they do yoga.  I guess it is time to take a rest after all that exercise.  She looks peaceful and contented.  

The colors are rich and mellow.  I think that they are yummy, like a chocolate covered cherry.  The woman is depicted with minimal graceful lines.  

I create digital works similar to the way that I create with paint and canvas.  Using digital brushes I create lines and texture that show, "the mark of the maker".  The composition of the painting creates a large "X", with the blue throw balancing the diagonal line of the woman and the window.
