Vision

Sometimes I paint and sketch visions that come into my mind. They are pictures that I feel urged to express or maybe archive is a better word for what I am doing. The images, faces and shapes do not always make sense to me as I create them but I feel a great sense of release when I do this, much like opening a pressure valve.

This face like many other faces I have depicted in my blog, such as "The Prophet", "Mac" and "Abre" are the product of visions that I need to (push out) or (get out) of my mind.

Alot of my compositions are based on these.

Perhaps this will explain to you, the viewer, why the subject matter seems so extremely different. Sometimes the feed back I hear or read from others help me identify what these works mean to me.

I guess we are in this together, my friends.

Pastel Impression of Early Autumn, Montclair

This is my first attempt at a landscape, sketched and blended with chalk pastel. The original painting is called Early Autumn, Montclair. This was painted by George Inness in oil on canvas. I chose this to practice because of the bold tones of peach, orange and yellow he chose to use which I feel, gave this painting a warm inviting glow.
