Progress/Process continues on the Domino Moons. I am intrigued by the reactiveness of the Mars Black. I wish that in the color profiles Winsor & Newton and Dr. Ph. Martin provide they would give insight into how fast certain colors move. Do I really wish that? Perhaps not, because that is a huge part of the investigative painting that I do everyday & if I knew how fast the paint would be drawn to salt or it speed in spreading across a wet paper then I would miss the excitement & joy of discovery. In the meantime I will construct a "speed chart" in my head & perhaps some day on paper. Happy Tuesday Y'all!

The spheres are in orbit. This weekend I experimented with adding backgrounds & allowing each glob to exist as a singular entity. I also mixed Mars Black with Payne's Grey?! I am in a bit of shock over this choice as I often think that Payne's cannot be improved on, but this series seems to call for it. I find it interesting how much more the Mars Black reacts with the salt. It simply gravitates towards it creating a much more visible/less subtle interaction. Who knows what will happen next with these moons? I don't, but I am enjoying the process. Happy Monday Y'all!
Most mornings I read an article or two in The New York Times before I start work on the blog post for the day. This gets my brain engaged & raises my cognitive awareness from nil to semi-cogent. This mornings article A Passage to India about Isla Van Damme a.k.a. Loulou reminded me of Karen Blixen & her stories, most notably Out of Africa. Both of these women have a strong sense of place that is clearly reflected in their work. While my 20's were spent in a distinct peregrination, I am now coming up on four years of living in one place. Shocking especially as it is a place I never thought I would live. And by never I mean the thought NEVER crossed my mind that I would be living on an island off the coast of South Carolina. However I am thankful & think that these current Aerial Views are a direct result from living here & spending time immersed in maritime forest & tidal waterways. Yay for the Lowcountry! Happy Friday Y'all!
I get lost in all of the little universes that happen in the salt & paint interactions. Happy Thursday Y'all!
There is free shipping on society6 thru May 11. And this aerial view is available as a print, cell phone case, clock, tote bag, throw pillow & shower curtain. Just click this link: society6 promo & you will be redirected. As always if you are interested in the originals just contact me. Happy Tuesday Y'all!
Finally feeling like I there is a truce or more adept working method with the Winsor & Newton Paints & the Dr. Ph. Martin's Hydrus. Yay for vibrant colors & workable paints. Happy Friday Y'all!
We don't seem to have the big swaths of seaweed here that I remember from my childhood up North, but the image is still with me & certainly found its way into this painting. Happy Thursday Y'all!
Not going to say much about these except they are big & bright, & still very much in their formative days. Happy Thursday Y'all!
