Description

“Asheville and The French Broad River, Asheville, North Carolina”

“Asheville and The French Broad River, Asheville, North Carolina” began as a quick plein air pen-and-ink sketch. I added watercolors later and then had a photo taken of the scene. It is an example of a mixed medium (watercolor, pen-and-in and watercolor on high quality paper) that has become contemporary paintography art. It continues the thread of interest in nature that runs through what I paint on canvas, or on paper, or in a digital way.

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. Tao Saying: “ The journey is the reward.”

THANK YOU


Story and Method: : While walking with my dog along the banks of Asheville, North Carolina’s French Broad River, we had to pause to drink in the beauty. I made a quick sketch for future reference. The visual story emphasizes the fraught process of selection we—each of us-- face every day—that being the choice to look for beauty and possibility in what is around us. I create from what is around me. I translate photos into mixed media often abstract expressionist digital renderings such as you see in this piece. I reach out for the story or metaphor to share in a narrative via texture, patterns, repetition that meet in the feeling of collage.

This piece creates its narrative via texture, patterns, repetition, and modern impressionist to fauve-wave bits that meet in the feeling of an integrated collection of concepts and forms..
