The moon always a powerful presence in the sky, night or day. It seemed like a good excuse to post the last few lines from a great song by an amazing songwriter…
Townes Van Zandt – Rake
…
And now the dark air is like fire on my skin
And even the moonlight is blinding
Another study in desolation. A large squeegee and a few different flat brushes were used to paint this one.
A moody landscape painting that is reflective of the gloom and rain of our November.
Another empty water scene. I used a squeegee and brush to create this like most of the other water scenes I’ve painted. This one has some interesting and subtle texture particularly in the upper left portion of the image. I used interference paint underneath the texture that gives it a dynamic quality that you can see as you move around the painting. Most of these have been 18″ x 24″ and 20″ x 20″, I really want to make very large version at some point… so much to do!
I had to ship out these 19 little guys on my lunch break today. They are off to a “small painting” show. Hopefully they find their way to the proper place!
