Captivating Moments

Have you ever looked at the sky just before it starts to get dusk and see a beautiful full moon.   There is something captivating about the “day moon” that I find fascinating.

As an artist, moments that capture my attention merit being recreated in my art.  A while back I took a picture of a field with a tree and a day moon as a reference for a future art piece.   That picture was not all that interesting, but it caught my attention enough to explore how to depict a day moon in my art.

I enjoy using pictures as references.  Sometimes I create what I see in the picture, but other times there are parts of the picture that interest me.  When I have just parts, I defiantly need my imagination to fill in the blanks to make the art interesting.   In the above art piece “A Walk with the Day Moon” the combination of part picture and part imagination were merge to make this art piece come into reality.  I hope you enjoy it!

Thinking Outside the Box

The Act of Creating

"Awakening into Beauty" Chaos is a good way to describe the first two months of this year, so many things are happening which are so confusing that it is easy to do nothing but be paralyzed by the uncertainty of what may happen next.  Instead of being powerless, I...
