A
WOMAN'S
DANCE
(4x6
inches/10x15
cm)
".....Movement
surrounded
her.
The wind, clouds, grasses and birds
all reminded her that nothing stands
still.
She danced from the joy of all she was
a part."
Coyote's Canyon
by Terry Tempest Williams
I really loved playing around with these simple paleolithic kind of figures.
Normally my art evokes emotional extremes with saturated colors and lots of texture.
In this work I toned down my vibrant colors in favor of a black and white palette.
I composed a grid-like structure, and filled them in with these small B&W anthropomorphic shapes.
2nd picture
With a special program I created this
presentation
of an
exhibit.
Just to see how this mini painting would do on
a
larger scale.
(Yup, that's me sketched in
the
1st painting)
But watch now my
painting in
the back:
It
looks great enlarged!
I might paint it on a large canvas!
The triptych on raw canvas will be part of my upcoming solo show "GEMS" February 8-14, 2010
at the Academy of Lifelong Learning (University of DE)
