Refuge Above

"I take solace above the trees. This is where I am the most at piece."

I've been working on a lot of introspective pieces lately. I had a vague idea of the final outcome before I started this piece. Sometimes I let the painting take charge rather than me trying to mold it too much. I put my brain in to cruse control mode, so I don't do too much thinking, and watch what I come up with. A lot of times I'll watch TV while I paint so it gets me thinking about other things. It's funny, a lot of subconscious thoughts and feelings come through when I work this way. I often surprise myself. It's definitely subjects I like to paint, it just happens to be scrambled in ways I didn't expect. I'm still trying to figure out what this painting means to me. I'll have to ask a shrink:) ha!

I'm sure global warming and the recent weather disasters are coming through to this picture. Lost of depressing things in the news lately, droughts, and fires where I live. The sky is gray with ash.

Gunman on the Grassy Knole

Gunman on the Grassy Knole

"Domo arigato Mr. Roboto!"I like figuring out many different ways to show contras in my pieces. In this piece I am contrasting the Robot, up against the sky and grassy stalks. Machine vs. nature is one way to create contras. If you put a tall person next to a short person that is another way to create contras, because It makes the tall person appear much taller, and the snort person... ...you get the point.

I've got more artwork up in my blog.

Impending Doom

i had fun painting the ripples in the water, and the men jumping out of the boat and wadding in the water. i have fun with little details such as this. it is important to keep things fun through every step of the process.
