POMONA

POMONA

digital, archival prints

close up, head shot

 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.

Amethyst Dance

  Amethyst Dance

Archival ink jet print,  9/21

Joyful, exhilarated, happy, energetic, beautiful,  Jumping for joy.  Almost flying.  This is how I want to feel.  When I create these  uplifting images I feel happy.  

I really like how the colors came together here.  The saturated blue, purple and green are brilliant without being garish.  The rich colors are jewel like,  like an amethyst. I have been working with this color combo for a while, and they really created rich harmony here.  

Oh! These terrible times.  Damn!  Pandemic, war, hurricane, flooding.  Government, politics, shut the damn TV off.  Just let me focus on making things better in my little corner of the world.  I try to think positive.  Every cloud has a silver lining.  I am Queen of Denial.  

We got a bit of damage from that bitch Ida. Here in Washington Parish, maybe about a hundred miles from the coast.   We have been focusing on cleaning up and repairing damage.  We were out of power for only two days.  Just long enough to make me grateful for clean water coming out of the tap.  Just long enough to appreciate electricity.  A tornado came through and downed some large trees that blocked the trail down to the creek.  A husky neighbor has done a lot of chain sawing, the trail is almost clear.  No damage to the house.  Thank Goddess.

This picture was created in photoshop.  I have been doing photoshop since the late 90's. You can order prints on canvas or paper ($60.00), from Saatchi Art Online.

 I often use photoshop pictures as a guide to create paintings.  I would love for you to commission a painting of this picture.  Or any other pxs you see on this blog.  Just G-mail me and tell me what you want.  I could probably make the picture in a month or six weeks, depending on the size that you want. 

Thank Goddess for the activity of creating art.  Getting into the art creativity zone helps my mind to feel that I am making the world more beautiful.  The art zone is were I want to be.  When you look at this picture, I hope that you feel a bit happier.

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.

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.
