The Flood

Tumbling water stampede
Advancing, rushing in liquid chaos
Painting pale dust dark
The flow imparting translucence
Saturating gray surfaces, revealing color
Debris displaced, lifted
Suddenly awakened into a frantic swim
Silence filled by wet static
Swelling, imperceptible grains crashing first
Then pebble and rock

To Fly, 2018, Digital Painting In my previous posting , I mentioned the many sketches I've created over the past several years that I've intended to develop into large paintings and sculpture. As I continue to experiment with ArtStudio and iPad as a digital painting tool, I'm finding that I'm able to quickly work out many possible variations on composition and explore color combinations. This is one of 16 versions of this theme. There are several I'd like to execute on canvas including monochromatic versions that I've not developed as digital paintings, but live in my head. I admire Frank Stella's work in the 80's where he was working out interpreting Moby Dick. His use of line and application of color was on my mind as I developed this version of the theme.
