DISIREY WITH FLOWERS

digital, limited edition of 50 archival prints, potential acrylic painting

file #220623, ect.

This is a recently completed series.  A beautiful woman with her head in the clouds, but you can tell by her compelling eyes, that she is not an air head.  These are digital, photoshop creations that make wonderful prints and I might use them as guides for acrylic or oil on canvas or paper.  

One of the cool things about photoshop is that you can reuse elements in different pictures.  I used the same face in three different iterations.  I have used two of the egrets in other pictures and created a new egret, the one folding her wings in flying motion.  The flowers are also recently created.  I will most likely use them again.  

It is rather difficult for me to write about my art work, because it is visual not verbal.  For me there is work in converting the visual to the verbal.  I really love these pictures.  I am pleased with myself that I have developed art skills over many decades.  I aim for beauty.  The beauty of harmonious rich color. I aim for depth, for layers of meaning.  I want to create pictures worth a thousand words.  

Maybe, these images are about transcending the toe stubbing on a rock pains, that often leave us hopping around and groaning.  Maybe, I paint in order to distract my self.  To give myself an activity that gives me pleasure and lightens the heavy loads of life.  I also want to communicate my inner desires (Deisrey) for harmony with other Earthlings..  

I want to make images that give YOU pleasure and depth over the long haul.  Images where you can find joy and meaning whenever you look at them over a period of time.

I dont know for sure if praying works or not, I think that it does effect events, but I am not sure. I do know that when things get really bad, praying makes me feel a bit better.

A soft, sad, but hopeful woman with a peace dove over her third eye.  Enough said.  I dont want to start ranting about the stupidity of Earthlings continually killing each other.

TO THE MOON AND BACK

 

                                               TO THE MOON AND BACK, I love you!  

This picture started when I wanted to create a bird with bright colors and flowing lines.  The lines indicate the flying motion of the bird as it ascends in the sky.  I created the bird, then played around searching for the right background.  I liked the moon and circles for the context of ascension.  Then I realized that the title of the picture should be TO THE MOON AND BACK.  What a fun concept.  

The colors are rich and harmonious. I made the sky a deep, deep blue, one of my favorite colors.  Purple and medium blue light circles appeared as I played with shape and color.  Then green trees were added to indicate elevation from solid ground, ascension to heaven via feelings of love.  

Created April,2022.  Digital, archival prints available from Saatchi.  Similar acrylic painting may be commissioned, message me. lunazure101@gmail.com

This is an inspiring picture that will spark a bit of delight when you hang it on a wall.  Or it would make a great gift for a loved one.

HIBISCUS MOON

file#220401

digital image for archival prints

perhaps a study for an acrylic painting

 Two digital paintings here.  The moon picture is very serene and the skull picture is exciting.  Sympathetic vs parasympathetic nervous and hormone systems, for any anatomy and physiology nerds out there. 

I want to go on a moon light sail on gently waving waters.  Lull me off to dream land.  Escape the bull shit storms coming from our media fear tubes.  

But, reality beacons, the skull reminds us that life is short.  

The painterly style of the skull is a newish style of painting for me.  I follow my muse.  That bitch, she says, "You like sinuous lines, like art nouveau, paint gently curving lines."  Then she gets bored and wants something new.  "Paint jaggedly lines, jutting about, exciting energy lines."  OK, that sounds like fun.  Call it Jitterbug style.  So I paint,  mostly doing photoshop, I paint pictures with a variety of brush styles.  A bit of art nouveau, some impressionism, some flat planes, realism, surrealism, what ever, all mixed  together in the same picture.    THEY, you know who they are,  the "experts" who say "find your style and stick to it".  How boring is that?  

OK, that is enough rattling about for me, I will sign off now.  

Have a wonderful day.  I think that I will meditate on this hibiscus moon light sail.  Do some gardening, the weather is sunny. Take a break from distressing reality.
