Shafts of Light, 6x6, A/C

It amazes me that this happens every day. It amazes me more that i don't make a point of watching every single one of them from start to finish.

Procession, 5x7, Acrylic/Canvas


Here are some nonsensical, rambling journal notes that a younger version of myself wrote while leaning on this very tree...
...and the sky blue sky hides every shade of yellow, and there is red in the leaves that are every green ever grown, and the growing green grasses hide their orange bellies from the violet eyes of apricot sunsets...and even the empty air flutters like butterfly wings...

and it goes on and on. Maybe I lean on trees too much.
But I don't think so.

Three Windows, 5x7, A/C

I don't get to use a bold green very often. I find that Ma Nature's green is usually shifted one way or another on the wheel. That's why this plywood door caught my eye. This is another building on the new-development chopping block. Is it just me, or does it kind of looks like it's yelling at you?

Time and Space, 8x6, Acrylic/Canvas Panel

Watching the darkness of space recede towards the zenith as a new day begins. It's mind boggling to think of all the motion involved here...driving at a certain speed, beneath clouds that are moving at their own pace, chasing the sun as it arcs across the sky, all on a spinning earth, each going in its own direction, like cogs driving each other around. And somehow it all stays together. You think about odd things when you drive a billion miles a year. I think this one would be fun on a six foot canvas.
