The Wave

The Wave

In my mind I saw a wave in the ocean and so I began to do a digital painting. This painting was fun and interesting. The wave turned out to have the movement I was looking for. I guess water and waves are real abstracts. It is also on Facebook, and Fine Art America. The size was painted as 14x14in. Although the resolution is good enough to reproduce it at a much larger size. 300 dpi

Color in the calendar

A few months ago I featured the Mayan Calendar. Then the other day I thought it would be nice to add color to this very old carved stone. Who knows maybe it was in color when it was new.

The most interesting part of the object is the fact that it has foretold the end of time to come in 2012. Well so far all is well. But, the Mayans were very serious about their study of the stars and the moon, so we will just wait for December 31, 2012 and ringing in of a new year 2013. Time will tell.  People have proclaimed the end of t;he earth over and over and the earth is still whirling around the sun. It's a vast universe out there and planets have come gone. The universe is a very violent place but because of the size is so vast we never notice the death of a star and planets that orbited. The gods keep throwing rocks at us and maybe one day one rock will get through and BANG. 
 

Geometriclly Sound

There is a lot of geometric forms in this painting thus the title of this painting.
The sound could be the flow coming forth from the blue rectangle opening.
I guess you have to hear with your eyes in this case. A loud sound like a jet plane makes at take off. The rest of the piece is rather organic. There is tension between organic and rectangular aspects which holds it all together. 
The size of the Digital painting is 18inHigh x 24inWide. The resolution is at 300bpi

Campfire

This Painting is called Campfire and thus the color of the type. I used one of my other painting in creating Campfire. This digital painting is great what you can do. I have to get one of the digital painting printed and stretched on canvas. 

Breakout

It;s after mid-night but I wanted to post another painting I just finished about an hour ago.The title is "Breakout".  

Posting again...

Both Laurie and I have not been keeping our blogs current, so I will start again. Here is another quote by "Pablo Picasso". 

“Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.”

By the Sea

Picasso was right and I have been working, so I will post a few of my latest digital paintings. 

With the digital program I use I can paint as though I were painting with my airbrush, or regular brushes, on canvas. From the digital file I can output the painting on canvas. The wonders of the electronic age. The only thing I can't do with digital painting is dropping paint on my shoes.

Wed.

Did another digital painting "Elements". Now I have to send Laurie a e-card for her birthday tomorrow.

Getting back to my art work

Moving on....

My Birthday over and coming up soon is Uncle Nello's Feb 1st (98). Then Laurie on Feb. 9th. The year  is moving along at a fast pace, so it seems. 2012 the year of the Dragon, elections, and who knows what. I really hope the wars are winding down, and economy starts winding up so the  dollar increases in value and our health's are good. 
Our health is most important. I have to continue my painting. I get a lot of enjoyment in creating paintings. Well we're moving on into 2012, the year that the Maya's foretold will be the end. I don't think so, but here we are at the threshold of 2012 and all I can say is "So far so good." 

January 22, 2012

I made it to another anniversary of my birth, and it's not "he would have been 78" I AM 78! Wow, it's been a long journey and I am looking forward to a continued stay on planet earth. I did another abstract digital painting since my last posting. I do enjoy painting with this new software artrage.
