Conquering the Past...

Feeling inevitably crunched for time represents a common motif in today's society...but as long as one completely enjoys the ride, time itself ostensibly ceases to exist (relative to the individual). Per request, this first piece (in a series of three) will serve as a contribution to a charity benefit organized by a few friends of mine. Looks like the race against the clock begins right about...now! Never thought I'd say this, but being jet-lagged from Europe is actually helping quite a bit.

CONQUERING THE PAST
oil paint on a wooden panel 9" x 9" (2011)

The unexpected, granular texture of the wood in this particular panel makes applying paint disappointingly difficult...but it's a learning process. First time for everything, right? :-)

    1. Many thanks, Susan! I'll let you in on a little secret. I accidentally applied some green paint in the left corner of the wooden panel, and had to improvise from there. The swirls in the air were a result. Not quite pleased with the end result, but it'll have to do. ;)

    1. Aw, truly appreciate your kind words, Jen! I think all of your creations are pure masterpieces! Glad you enjoyed this piece. Believe it or not, the sky was meant to conceal an painting accident. x_x
