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.
