Description

“Adobe Magic”

ADOBE MAGIC is a modern impressionist piece with a nod to abstraction and Fauvism. It tells a story that invites you to create your own spin on the tale. I hope you will find a connection here - linger awhile, possibly start a conversation about the elements - spaces, lines, textures and rhythms that speak to you.

THE BACK-STORY: : Adobe Magic” evolved from my original painting on canvas and hints of Fauvism.. I photographed that painting in soft light back at my studio in Asheville, North Carolina, and then became this digital image. The photo, at Georgia O'Keeffe's studios outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico, was taken very early one morning when and no one else was around. Magic seemed to be in the air as I imagined what the great artist saw and painted. Later, I tried to capture the sense of place in this image giving it a modern impressionist-twist. The original is in a private collection now.

“Adobe Magic” additionally was inspired by the words of Georgia O'Keeffe : “I think it's so foolish for people to want to be happy. Happy is so momentary—you're happy for an instant and then you start thinking again. Interest is the most important thing in life; happiness is temporary, but interest is continuous.” I added bold expressive colors to define the emotion INTEREST.... a moment of discovery. There are patterns and shadows and deepening expanses that may evoke a thoughtful mood



THEME AND SYMBOLISM:: In this paintography piece, the juxtaposition of color with changing light symbolizes positive change through envisioning different perspectives. Here is the story of longing for connection a tale of change with compassion. This is a theme that runs through what I paint on canvas, or on paper, or in a digital way.

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

I create visual narratives from what is around me- make sketches into canvas work, then take a photo creating a mixed media digital rendering such as what you see in this piece. I reach out for the story and metaphor in a visual narrative via texture, patterns, repetition that meet in a feeling of lyrical abstraction. These elements offer a sense of coming together - a collection of concepts and forms that take shape.

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
