"Heron Aloft": An Experiment in High Saturation Painting
Heron Aloft An Experiment in High Saturation Painting In painting Heron Aloft I greatly exaggerated the color saturation in the sky and the play of light and shadow on the bird. The result was difficult to photograph or scan, losing some the intensity of the original.
Cottage Mermaid
Cottage Mermaid While rebuilding from our Isabel flood (September 2003) I constructed a small closet in the kitchen recycling a door and trim from an old non-functional toilet stall from another room. Since we have very high ceilings I included a transom door to access the higher space in the closet. I painted a very human mermaid swimming in a fantasy aquascape on a panel inside the beaded board transom door. Most of our visitors never know she is hidden there.
Small Black set: 6. "Greek Horse"
Small Black Set 6. Greek Horse Finishing up the sextet of small black ground paintings, Greek Horse was inspired by the stylized bronze horse figures of the Geometric Art period in ancient Greece, c900-700 BCE. Again with copper and gold metallic paint.
Small Black Set: 5. "Sea Turtle":
Small Black Set 5. Sea Turtle Again, the same palette. Unfortunately the metallic copper shell and gold trim do not photograph well.
Small Black Set: 4. "Butterfly"
Small Black Set 4. Butterfly Butterfly, loosely based on a monarch, but with the same color palette as the others in this set.
