Tree of Life

I think I’m “just before” killing this painting.  I don’t know what’s bothering me.  Maybe I was foolish to try such and odd ratio.  This is not the golden mien!2-27-10

antenna

Hugh was trying to help get wi fi in my studio.  We went home for lunch.  His cell would only stay connected if he made himself a human antenna.  Ah, the joys of country living!Hugh, human antenna

The moon needs work

You may not believe this, but I can see things in these photos that I miss in the studio.  Since I’m using a flash it highlights things.  Instead of glowing, my moon looks like it’s having a solar flare.  So I know what this afternoons project it.  Tree of Life

Several

I work on several paintings at once.  Some need to dry and some need time to percolate in my mind.  “Vision” has monofilament running thru it.  The socket is not part of the art!  River is part of the spirals.Vision2-9-10River

tree

The tree is thrusting into space.  If birds evolved from dinosaurs, what will humans evolve into?  Will the trees evolve so they can grow into space?Tree of Life

Tree of Life

More spirals.  I need to emphasize the edge of the world at the bottom.  Would different colors make this more appealing?  Yeah, to who?  Am I once again relying more on color than structure?  Are my paintings skeletonless?Tree of Life

River

I’m stuck on spirals.  Besides DNA, they describe paths, like a rivers.River

Vision

You may not be able to tell, but there are strands of monofilament going thru the canvas.  I’m going to see if backlighting will still send light along them.  It did before I started painting.  Some of the “strings” in the paint are from poured enamel paints.Vision

White water

It rained all night.  Our trickle of a creek is a bold stream today.  The power was out all morning.  Even tho I was warm and got some work done, I’m sooo glad it’s back on.  My car’s in the shop so I was really stuck.12-9-09a12-9-09b
