New Series

Circles #2

I am begining to believe that it is totaly impossable for me to work on only one thing at a time.

A new seriese is emerging from the pool of energy that is me.

To me these seems a bit more uplifting, but it is early in their development. Cricles #2 began as two touching hands and a solar like ring around them. It is developing in to two hands emerging from a spherical egg which is held by two unrelated hands. The ray of light energy (still too yellow orange) that is also emerging out from the egg then wraps around the central element to then blend to the bottom and cradel the scene.

The Red Sphere in the background has not totaly disclosed its pupose. This 24"x24" oil on wood panel is in the underpainting stage now. Once the design has been worked out Thicker oils will be applied.

I have a more mystical feeling about this one. The difficulty lies in wanting to have bright, bold, vivid color without creating an overwelming energy force. How to get vivid color while keeping a soft easy feeling is showing itself as my challenge.

AS with most of what I create, the final name for these new paintings will be determined at their completion. For now, they get series numbers in order of their original emergence.

Circles #1

This is a watercolor that began as a memeber of the MONOCHROMES series but the birth of the green gave it a new destiny.

Here figures, or parts of them, are stretching to support various spheres.

It does seem that my creations often consist of circles and figures.

What can I say?... They're fun!
