Continuing Color Obsession

2010-05-16T05:40:00.000-04:00

Even as my own world grows duller and thicker, colors eventually explode in my brain. They chew away until they have a space large enough for them to combust. I'm grateful for this, but wish I had the ability to exercise some control over their unruliness within me.

Working with watercolor offers opportunities for acceptance or rejection with almost every brush stroke. The fluidity of this medium, which seems to have a mind of its own, fascinates me. It seems to want to create atmospherics on its own. And, I accept this willingly.

Fletcher to Enosburg and Back

2009-07-25T04:25:00.005-04:00

Last weekend I made a round-trip to Enosburg Falls on each of two days. Since I was not driving, I was free to soak in the passing scenes. I was struck by the incredible splendor of the roadsides in bloom. The greenery of the road edges was diapered with tiny bits of white, yellow, and lavender, showing off against the backdrop of the greens of corn or hay. The variegated clouds in the sky made the colors seem even brighter.

New Blog Just for Paintings

2009-07-22T03:28:00.007-04:00

The only posts here will be to show paintings as they are finished. Other issues that come up in my visual life are, and will continue to be, dealt with in my White River blog.

And here is the first installment; done about two weeks ago, the day after I received a tube of Old Holland Sap Green. It was a new color and I dove into it, along with my standard Prussian Blue and Hooker's Green.
