Description

“Window on Santa Fe No. 3” is a digital rendering from original photography turned into contemporary paintography here in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina. It is the third in this Santa Fe series depicting light as imagined from the viewer’s window over a 24-hour period in Santa Fe New Mexico.

Theme and Symbolism: In this paintography piece, the juxtaposition of the color of dark to midnight blue with cream and darkest red symbolizes positive change through envisioning different perspectives. The idea is - that through the vigilant eyes of the artist in each of us- that very observation of and care for the things around us can lead to mindfulness and compassion for all... .

Story and Method: On a plein air sketching mission I found myself at Georgia O'Keeffe's studios outside of Santa Fe, in Abiquiu, New Mexico. It was very early and no one else was around. I took a photo and did a quick sketch . I imagined what the great artist O’Keeffe might have seen from her window from day to night. Later, I tried to capture the sense of place on canvas . This is a digital rendering of the image that emerged as "Window on Santa Fe," a post painterly abstract expressionist piece. This canvas is in a private collection now.

Method: : 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 abstraction with Fauve bits that meet in the feeling of an integrated collection of concepts and forms... with a feeling of collage.
