New Work: The Landscape

"Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving." ~ Kahlil Gibran

This is a new landscape in progress from the "Esto Perpetua" series I began several years ago. The paintings keep evolving and transcending...and each one becomes a new love of mine. This one will head to the Southwest to Santa Fe when I get it done to Patricia Carlisle Fine Art, Canyon Road. It's 36 x 36 in a muted soft palette that dances in the evening woods.

The Landscape: New Work

'Let choice whisper in your ear and love murmur in your heart. Be ready. Here comes life.' ~ Maya Angelou

More leaves tinged with scarlet, gold, russet hues brush softly through the fall grass; the sky today is impossibly blue...colder weather brings a melancholy, a time of remembering to the heart, as it does every year--the changing of all things is constant. Seasons have their time, as do we. This painting is in progress: a gold gesso ground, with layers of oil paint and Gamblin cold wax. Those falling leaves whisper secrets of the road ahead--a underlying desire to pack up and head to parts unknown, to be a gypsy spirit. Yet, as an artist friend of mine reminds me: it's always good to have a place to hang your hat. And your paint brush!
