Description

"Gone Fishing"

GONE FISHING is a photo-painting in the relaxation, renewal and caring series. Each of the images and scenes in this collection was digitally painted, but they began as photos taken while on vacation at the ocean’s shore in North Carolina. I used vivid hues to express both the story implied and a longing for a deep breath. I wanted to create a vibrant visual impression.

"Gone Fishing" is an abstract expressionist / figurative abstraction piece. It tells a story of life in full color and invites you to discover your own expression of this visual tale. I hope you will find a connection here - linger awhile, possibly start a conversation about the elements - spaces, lines, textures and rhythms and contemporary themes that speak to you.


This image began as a photo of a fishing dock in Florida. After ink work that I added to a pen-and ink sketch, it took shape on canvas –(acrylic)- later to be photographed once more.

At that point, it evolved into modern contemporary -(new mixed media-) paintography. When I took a photo of the canvas and subjected it to the whims of my muse-(and computer)- in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina the result was this digital rendering.

It continues a theme that runs through my images: Nature, metaphor, love, friendship, collaboration, and consideration of the fraught process of selection we—each of us— face daily: The choice to "go fishing" for delight, joie de vivre and pure possibility around us.

FOR COLLECTORS: This image works well as a framed (or unframed) gallery-quality print at home or business. It is a statement piece— a soft remarkable duvet cover, a charming fabric shower curtain, a throw pillow that adds a pop of color— even a greeting card you won’t find at the grocery store. And give yourself the gift of art as a weekender tote or fun tank top. ... (((*:*)))




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


BACK-STORY: : 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.

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

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.
