The Truth Is Basically Simple
There was a toy called “colorforms” when I was a kid. It consisted of vinyl pieces in various puzzle-like shapes and colors which you could stick to a slick, vinyl covered back board. I was always tempted to cut the pieces with scissors and I had to discipline myself to stick to the shapes provided. Free of that restriction in the digital world.
The older I get, the more attention I have on aging … or, maybe it’s the other way around. Here’s a silly image of a woman caught in the same trap. Is this woman facing you or does she have her back turned?
Though I create at least one work a day, I usually only post one or two to my blog. Today I felt inspired to post three recent works.
I had attention on the importance of connection with potential collectors and this was the result. The distillation of a moment in my life … that’s pretty much what all of my art is about.
A brief visit back to simple line drawings of simple emotions … it is good for me to remember that the truth is basically simple.
Sublime in its simplicity … this one really sends the message.
Another colorful and minimal piece where lines and forms greet a stylish blonde woman. She’s got a purple hat and a matching scarf.
My take on a classic subject. Vibrant colors and crisp forms bringing joy and wonder to the observer.
I really hope this one finds a good home and prints of it proliferate far and wide. I like it a lot and I want to share it. I think it represents the zenith of where my art is right now … and the great thing about creativity is that there are future zeniths yet to come!
A monumental piece of color and form … harks back to my grammar school days of decorating bulletin boards with colored construction paper cut with scissors and pinned to the cork.
