ChromaSine

I have been stuck on abstracts lately. I haven't created many in the past, but I think I like abstracts these days. I call this one ChromaSine--it is made from colorful sine waves at different phases (with a little nonscientific positioning by this artist). I tend to use bold colors in both my representational and non-representational artwork. As someone said to me, "your bright colors pull me in" and I can't stop looking at the art. I love rich vibrant color, too. I think the color use has help me develop the skills involved in abstracts. In any event, I sure enjoy looking at ChromaSine and I hope you do as well.

Abstracts

I don't usually show my digital art abstracts because they require a skill that I never thought I had. To me, an abstract has to be more than lines that meander around without a sense of purpose. Until recently, most of my abstracts seemed to not have a purpose. I like the composition of the above abstract called Mutate. I titled it that because it reminds me of a how a human cell may mutate. This piece is a blend of science and art in that it was created by me using mathematical formulas for the composition and color. It is truly a one of a kind piece of art because I couldn't possibly remember the exact formulas or the sequence I used to generate it! Let's see, I think I took the sine of x and added it to the cosine of...aaaaagh! Well, anyway, I do like looking at the result even if I could reproduce it exactly.

2010 Calendar

My 2010 calendar was published just in time for holiday shopping. From My Studio features 12 images of my art, one for each month. This spiral bound wall calendar is a high quality rendering that will look great wherever you hang it. Among the art featured are landscapes, horses, and a hummingbird that appears on the front cover. The calendar itself has the USA holidays marked. Each day of the month has sufficient room for you to write down appointments and notes. Take a look at it:

Country Autumn

OK...I admit it. I am not quite ready for winter. So, I am posting this picture of autumn. The crimson and yellow leaves on the tree surrounded by a wooden fence make this a 'countryscape' that harkens back to the peak of fall. Click on it to see a larger view.

Getting Ready for Winter

Are you ready for winter and snow? I am not, but Mother Nature has lowered the temperature since the end of Nobember. It is cold here now...Those of you who live in California, Tahiti, Hawaii, or some other warm, sunny place, stop laughing . Have you no empathy for those of us who live in the eastern or midwestern USA? Geez...

Pensive Place

This is a painting of a favorite place of mine. It is where I go when I need to think about things and sort things out. It is serene, peaceful and quiet. I believe that the beauty of the lake, and the horizon, actually contributes to my thinking. For me, it is the perfect place to have when, as I say, life dances on your head. Life can throw you unexpected curves...Your journey can be on a road of twisty turns that you can't see around. I hope that you have a special place to go when you need to think. Chances are that at some point, your road is going to curve into some twisty turns. Click on the image to see a larger view.
