For visually challenged writers, the image shows a landscape of green moorland and hills, with a pool of water near rocks in the foreground and a heavy bank of white cloud rolling in and masking the horizon.
Shrouded in these clouded hills
the loons and butterflies
dart and dance
a wild shrilling silence
a frenzied breaking stance
the willows, the weeds
the flowers
the bitter bitten
grass.

I’ve been making several iterations of this collage in the Figma platform, using my original oil pastel “Universal Day and NIght”
I love juxtaposing my original artwork with the clean lines and filter tools in Figma. It creates awesome variations and depth with great layering results. I am a colorist and abstract artist at heart, and have always painted fast and furious so this technique is perfect for me. I would love to hear your feedback on this piece.
I painted this watercolor while sitting in my studio one day, “back in the day” living in Philadelphia, Pa. I loved the bike rides I would take out into the countryside and surrounding burbs of Philly, the lush green landscape provided a cocoon-like escape out of my busy city existence during this time in my life.
This painting is now available on canvas, as a print in my Artshop .
A quad layout of Florida Palm trees in bright colors. 3 of these are outside of my door and 1 is from my imagination. These are Oil Pastels on watercolor paper. My original artwork has taken on the vibrancy of the natural landscape, as well as the many manicured properties that dot the landscape of, the Nature Coast, of Southwest Florida.
