From Summer into Autumn

Sep20

I’ve been getting more time in the studio, but spending less on the computer. New work is piling up, unshared!

Summer very much felt worth celebrating, and there were some stunning moments that seemed to sparkle with joy.

The time slipped away so quickly… and just this past weekend, I found myself noticing hints of Autumn here and there, on my walks, and as I ran my errands. Time spent in the studio hints at those hints.

Happily, time in the studio is increasing as I become more settled in my work and home routines in this new place. More to come!

Irises

Feb28

My recent burst of inspiration resulted in some fun work in glow, mostly pretty light-hearted. It was a gray rainy day, too, and the filtered light and overcast skies resulted in creating some sunshine on canvas.

This one results in a bright “moonlight” silhouette when charged.

Spring flowers haven’t bloomed in the garden quite yet, but they bloom in my studio. 🙂

Potentially Anything

“Potentially Anything” 11″ x 14″ acrylic on canvas w/pen&ink and glow 2015

Painted on a rainy late summer morning, feeling inspired by love, and life; I started this piece thinking about lush green forests, and new life, and finished it thinking about space travel, and contemplating the future of humankind, and how vast our potential is, viewed from the perspective of how much we do not yet know. It is a piece I find myself hoping communicates some sense of how each moment is potentially the seed of some future greatness, and how precious our uncertainty is on our path of discovery. The basic image is of a gravid woman surrounded by whirling motes of dust, imagination, atomic particles, or… really…anything.
