MAGNOLIA ANGEL
recent digital creation
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.

Pomona is the Roman Goddess of fruitful abundance.
I named my vegetable garden after her. The garden is 22'x22', rather small. It is organic and I tend it with hand tools. The recent harvest was abundant for the size of the garden.
The inspiration and reference for this digital painting is an ancient Roman statue. The statue is approximately 1300 years old. Prior to this Roman conception, the Greek Goddess Demeter had similar characteristics. Prior to the Greeks the Sumerians named their goddess of agriculture Nibada.
I enjoy feeling a part of a stream of creations that have been developing for many centuries.
I hope she will inspire you to be abundant in whatever field you endeavor to cultivate.
