Landscape 14-006 Musings of the Artists Mind I’ve written & re-written several descriptions of this one and somehow it all comes back to the feeling that these two trees are passing time by telling each other bad jokes. What do you see? Are We Having Fun, Yet? Say Yes, When you design your world with … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #416 – Landscape 14-006
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #415 – Landscape 14-005
Landscape 14-005 Musings of the Artists Mind Sometimes there are scenes in movies that stick in my imagination. Several films have used a time-lapse or speeded-up film to show the passage of time. I stopped the tape, the clock and time to capture this moonrise and I still feel the fast movement. I also hear … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #415 – Landscape 14-005

Landscape 14-004 Musings of the Artists Mind Things are always staring up in the background of solitude. This one looks like a drive by photo I toon on the highway between Abu Dhabi & Dubai. The more I loo at it, the more I imagine it shouting at the passing cars: “Hay, wait for me!” … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #414 – Landscape 14-004

Landscape 14-003 Musings of the Artists Mind Imagine the hazy heat rising from the ground to blur everything; even the shadows cast from the trees seam lost in the excessive humidity of the day. The trees remind me of the mushrooms in Fantasia. Getting ready to dance apart in a whimsical circle of life and … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #413 – Landscape 14-003
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #411 – Landscape 14-001
Landscape 14-001 Musings of the Artists Mind I challenged myself to make smaller canvases and this first series came from it. Up close the textures added wonderful lighting effects; they all have an antique photography feel to them. The star of this one and its siblings is the dark forest green mixed with a high … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #411 – Landscape 14-001

Who Me? Musings of the Artists Mind Movement and sound... Yes, sound! Look into the painting and you will start to hear the gentle wind rustling in the leaves of this tree.

An impossible stillness inspired … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #410 – Who Me?
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #409 – Landscape – Distant Cousins
Landscape - Distant Cousins Musings of the Artists Mind Sometimes making art is like taking a leap of faith. In this case it's having faith in my materials: a largish canvas, a limited pallet of acrylic paints, some well loved brushes, water and varnish; throw them altogether with time and patience and voila! The technique … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #409 – Landscape – Distant Cousins
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #408 – Abstract Land 2 – Blustery Day
Abstract Land 2 - Blustery Day Musings of the Artists Mind Here's a lonely tree, out in the middle of nowhere. It seams to be defiantly staring back at the viewer as they are contemplating the tree. There is also something of memory in this composition; Perhaps my memory, perhaps from yours. The colours variations … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #408 – Abstract Land 2 – Blustery Day
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #407 – Howl Two
Howl Two Musings of the Artists Mind An over-paint on my own original Howl painting. The original was thick, dripping, flat white on glossy black. It was stark, sleek, and sterile. As fiercely dadaist as the most popular paperback cover of Ginsberg’s Howl that inspired it. And, it left me with a feeling of incompleteness, … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #407 – Howl Two

Winter’s Tree Musings of the Artists Mind I got inspired by my painting titled: “Sawsan’s Trees” and wanted to give her a lighter scene. This highly textured piece gives me the impression of a cool, crisp Spring day, before the snow melts. We can feel the rain in the air, but the sky is still … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #406 – Winter’s Tree
