Description

SAFARI DAWN is a painterly abstract image. This abstract image came together here in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina. A combination of photos inspired by our friend from photos he took while on safari in Kenya, and my watercolor and pen sketches it "arrived" when I used my smartphone to capture the JPEG then added layers (hundreds !+) to create the digital rendering you see.

Materials Often Used: pen-and-ink for design, watercolor and canvas paper, gloss medium, some oil pastels, bits of acrylic paint and sometimes glazing medium, smartphone to create JPEG, digital-rendering and photo manipulation- this is a collage-mixed media piece.


Meaning behind the digital collage - a story to tell: Promising Tales of Life on Planet Earth. This follows with my theme in narrative art with emotive content- ( some call an inner landscape)- that offers an opportunity for the viewer to interpret the story being told, and thus add to the story.

Whether as a digital abstractionist, working as well on canvas and with photography to produce mixed media images, my hope is to engage the viewer. My thought is that visual impressions, founded on simple or more complex designs, can build on an promising tale of life on planet Earth.

SAFARI DAWN symbolizes a sense of joy of life, transitions, new perceptions that evoke positive change, the embracing of an inner - symbolic-mythic- visual landscape. This piece may have a particular appeal as the visual narrative reveals that even disparate parts CAN work together.

HOW MY IMAGES COME TOGETHER::

Generally, you will find any number of hidden characters in my art work.

All of my fusion art and contemporary abstract images –whether impressionist or expressionist- feature many, many, many layers blended for "pasted effects" to reveal - through pattern, texture, and light- a visual narrative about life on our blue planet that welcome your interpretation.

I loved working with the patterns in this piece!
