Drama  Painting  Series

   The following series of paintings were created via 9/11.

  I went to the Malibu ranch to sit, connect with God and  make sense of it all.  Sitting on a rock by the pond, I focused on the Divine and noticed the water's rippled reflected light dance on the bellies of suspended sycamore branches from up above. The ethereal light show were like angels as smooth as silk, gracing and embracing all that it encountered.                   

"Celindine Soar"     40"x30" "Flight"                 40"x30"

   The light swirled across the face of the pond's surface, drawing my attention to the mirror earthly images reflected in the water's shadows.  

"Tranquil Impression"    30"x22" "Grace of Light"        30"x22" 

   Fish swam thru the middle layer of water, continuing to draw my consciousness even deeper, until I focused on the shapes and shadows that lurked amongst the rocks and algae at the bottom of the pond.

"Willow Sweep"         24"x24" "Silouette of Myth"      24"x24"

    I went back to my studio that day and started to paint another pond painting.   I layered in the shadows on the bottom of the pond in a loose subliminal manner.  When I stepped back to fill my brush with more paint, I looked at my canvas and realized it was finished.  And thus, started the Drama Series.

Life's continual drama of Light and Dark...

              "Shadows of Drama"       48"x60"              

   And so, this series of  Drama paintings is an epiphany on the reflection of life. 

   One may see a cow hide, geographical maps, birds flying, etc, in the paintings.  But it all depends on one's perception, buried subconscious history and the openess of one's heart and imagination to allow oneself to relate to the paintings. 

   People can  look at the same  painting or situation and each one see something different.  What one focuses their attention and perception on in life; creates the desire to the senses what one wishes to experience at any given time.
