Nature Struck!

Nature-

How can one describe the absolute exquisite beauty in nature

Whose palette reflects a rainbow of colors 

Magnifies one's sense of both bewilderment and awe

Perfection in each and every facet of precision

Art in it's purest, most natural form.

Nature-

With an eternal essence

And universal timing

Like synchronized clockwork

Profound

 

Arousing

Connecting

Breathtaking

Designs and patterns of such intensity

  

Leaves even living on the water's table top edge.

Releasing energies that  cry out with fragrant bouquets of joy

Mystical, magical, magnificent.

 Containing petals of exacting spirals, cylinders, rectangular oblong shapes

With the touch of the softest, delicate brushed velvet,

 In gradations of thickness, 

Layers holding centuries of history within each hidden petal.

Stories unfolding-

Singing their own melodic songs with valiance and grace

In a language all their own.

Pure Perfection.

Contrasts 

 Integrating yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Reflective.

We must appreciate the treasures that are unearthed before us

   And nurture them...

Just as it's imperative for us to nurture  

 Ourselves and those of one another.

There is art where ever we look, 

In all that we do -in all of our souls.  

A Glimpse, A Glance, A New Mixed Media Art Romance!

Here are some select sections of one of my recent mixed media artworks titled

"Triumph of Man".

It's a  24" x 18" canvas painted with acrylics and  filled with original old stamps, enhancements of some of my photos, a piece of the front page of an original 1964 New York World's Fair  brochure, architectural drawings and  ephemera creating

  layers and layers of textures.

This work is a metaphor for the achievements man has attained, built and layered on the discoveries of so many- each creating a  foundation for the unending  new  innovations within society.  I  attended the 1964 World's Fair as a child and remember being in such awe of these new  21st Century technologies- seemingly futuristic in nature. The experience of sitting in moving seats within dark cavernous exhibit halls- taken on a  journey to see striking  new designs  was just  miraculous.

Just think what new  revelations and discoveries  in science and technology will become the staple of American life in the next half century! 

Within your own life, what would you like to create?
