Description
"LIGHT OF SPIRIT MATISSE"
This is a photo from the view at my studio in Asheville, North Carolina-turned to paintography via digital manipulation. It is a reflection on light as referenced in this quotation from Henri Matisse, " It is only after having enjoyed the light of the sun for a long time,that I tried to express myself through the LIGHT OF THE SPIRIT."
I was inspired by this wisdom having long been inspired by the master's works of art.

THANK YOU
NOTE: A specific thread of interest that runs through what I paint on canvas or on paper or in a digital way: Nature and the fraught process of selection where the influences as varied as abstract expressionist to the fauvist combine to become what I call "Lyrical Abstraction."
My paintings have evolved over the years, but, in each case, I create from what is around me... or from an inner landscape arrived on the wings of some wispy muse. Most often these days I begin with a photo hunt, as I did here. As I mentioned, this piece began as a photo I took while walking on a path that leads from my studio here in Asheville. I translated the photo into digital format looking for the story or metaphor and created the “terrain” where texture, patterns, repetition, and "fauve -wave" bits speak. The juxtaposition of emphatic color with changing light symbolizes positive change. There are possibilities for understanding different perspectives.
The Matisse quotation inscribed at the root of it all again brings the work together around the idea of change with compassion .
** 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.
