Description

“A Break from the Storm ”

“A Break from the Storm ” No. 1 is a visual metaphor. This is a detail, up close image with brilliant highlights of color. (It looks different from a distance as in on your wall, so maybe stand a few feet away from it as you view it here.) It depicts the power of nature, humankind's vulnerability and willingness to brave the storm.

According to ancient Roman mythology, Neptune had superhuman strength , speed, and stamina and resistance to physical injury.. Surely he possesses the energy to provide a safe “Break from the Storm” and possible demise on the rocky bottom or shore of the sea.

METHOD:: Textured Acrylic Impasto, Modern Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Narrative, and Digital Paintography with a Twist.

This is part of the Bright Spot Miniature collection. Each is a 4x4 canvas block. The miniatures are multi-layered, painted, waxed, carved out and completed in a textured acrylic impasto presentation. Look for interpretations of outer/inner landscapes with a persistent focus on patterns and bold or unusual color.

Photo and digital manipulation mostly NOT an accurate interpretation, seek to explore the essence of the subject. I move shapes, colors, forms, textures, layering and the overall gestalt to achieve an effect. Expect glimpses of reality from unusual perspectives. Image-making prompted by nature

“A Break from the Storm ” is an example of Modern Impressionism and New Mixed Media with references figurative abstraction. It is narrative inviting you to discover your own expression of this tale. I hope you will find a connection here - linger awhile, possibly start a conversation about the elements - spaces, lines, textures and rhythms and contemporary themes that speak to you.

“A Break from the Storm ” began as a photo of the rocky Oregon Coast. After a pen-and ink sketch, it took shape as an acrylic on canvas, later to be photographed once more. At that point it evolved into mixed media, modern contemporary (new media) paintography. When I took a photo of the final iteration and subjected it to the whims of my muse-(and computer)- here in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina the result was this digital rendering.

It continues a theme that runs through my work : Nature, metaphor, and the fraught process of selection we—each of us— face daily : The choice for awareness of “rocky shores” and the need to navigate when seas are chaotic.
