This is a beautiful and inspiring work or art. I like to use a lot of light and ambient evolution in my work as well. I really like the feeling you have generated here. It is soothing like the breath of a new day..
I used to write a lot as a child. I have recently decided I want to pick it back up. It is relaxing and its own form of art. My poetry can even be paired up with my art!
It’s a fabulous medium that I have forgotten to use until recently. Plus, I have been extra inspired lately!
in awe of many pieces posted here…but, this, draws me in; I seek refuge from the light in the shadows of the canopy. I’m curious, it seems dimensional (as if rough to the touch) technique, or is it a layered medium?
First, thanks for looking, liking, and commenting. This painting was first painted in the traditional manner,oil paint,brushed on to a primed panel. I let it dry for several days, and then, to get the effect of shimmering light, I splattered semi-diluted paint onto the lower portion. I used a old tooth brush, and by drawing a knife across the bristles, the splatter was achieved. This technique requires control and restraint—-it can easily become overpowering. The finished painting is indeed three dimentional—each dot stands out from the surface, giving the painting a unique surface, not obvious in the photo.

It sort of reminds me of a “memory”. Not a specific memory, but a the vision of a memory in general.
