Description
“Cat’s Blue Moon”
Original photography of my vanished cat, Frankie as he looked longingly out the door at my studio - Asheville, North Carolina. After a long time waiting and hoping for his return, I painted his back-facing portrait on canvas, then created a digital rendering - contemporary paintography art.
The visual story emphasizes the fraught process of selection we—each of us-- face every day—that being the choice to look beyond to find possibility in what is around us despite the challenges.
Theme and Symbolism: : In this paintography piece, the juxtaposition of texture and neutral hues with the blue light of the moon symbolizes constant change and uncertainty. Here is the story of longing for connection...a sense of duet with the moon... “It is the artist who realizes that there is a supreme force above him and works gladly away as a small apprentice under God's heaven.” ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

THANK YOU
Story and Method: : I create from what is around me. I translate sketches into canvas work then take a photo creating a mixed media digital rendering 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 with references to "lyrical abstraction.” These elements meet to offer a feeling of coming together as the collection of concepts and forms take shape.
** This artwork is available in a variety of framed and unframed gallery-quality prints, home décor items such soft and durable duvet covers, fabric shower curtains, and throw pillows as well as greeting cards and weekender totes.
***Grateful for showing your support by liking my work here. thank you.
