A Pause in the Wood

The sound was faint.
He paused
To detect
Some wind's whisper nudging a leaf or other effect
Of subtle disturbance
Of animal or other.
He ceased breathing
Feigning death for a moment
To freeze his own nature.
Listening into the wood
Listening
Finding a wind's whisper nudging.

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.
