How did they make those ancient architectural marvels? Today’s post “Licorice Pyramid” offers no clear answers, but is still a tasty treat.
Licorice Pyramid
Acrylic
Licorice Hi-Rise
Elevated above the indigo sea rests the “Licorice Hi-Rise”.
At least until the sweet tooth kicks in.
Spring Song
Sounds and sites all fresh and new, morning arrives earlier each day and the world is alive with possibility. Today’s painting “Spring Song” is a painting of one of the heralds of this most anticipated season.
Passage
In today’s painting I’m continuing to break the world up into small shapes. “Passage” had its genesis in a trip along the inner passage of British Columbia. Looking for a little calm those strong horizontals deliver.
Splash-Pad
As I look outside this morning big flakes of snow are descending upon the few brave blades of grass that have broken through to seek the April sun. In a vain attempt to move past the cruel nature of a maritime spring I have posted an image of a new painting, “Splash-Pad”. Palm trees and sunshine, its ok to be delusional once in a while, isn’t it?
Infinity
From the mosaics found in Pompeii, to the coloured glass of medieval cathedrals, to the dots of Georges Seurat, the Ben-Day dots of comics, and now with the dominance of the pixel, images have long been constructed out of pure blocks of colour. Today’s painting “Infinity” follows this methodology and hopefully gives a bit of respite in these trying times.
It was early Spring
O.K. a guy can dream can’t he?
The Best Preserve
It’s been quite a year, full of dark days for far too many. The only way to really deal with any of it is to have a sturdy dose of ” The Best Preserve”. I’m hoping that in the coming days you will have it poured out on you, and in turn, you will shower it on others.
The Nutcracker
During the early winters of my youth, he stood guard over the silent nights as Christmas approached. Today he continues to soldier on each Christmas season and watches as the darkest nights are filled with a hopeful light.
Crystal Marmalade
“A wise bear always keeps a marmalade sandwich in his hat in case of emergency.”
Michael Bond
It’s been awhile since I posted. I hope everyone is doing well in these oh so strange days. I thought a little marmalade might help.
Take care.
