As all of you may know by now, I enjoy painting. In fact, along with the creative stuff I do, to relax, I either meditate, write, or paint. However lately it's been painting that does it for me best, and I thought it would be nice to share some of my work with you all.
Once you view it, it would be nice to know what you do to relax and calm your mind besides meditation. Please leave a comment as I enjoy learning from all of you, and do let me know which painting is your favorite.
My Paintings
Afternoon At The Museum
My latest creation is right below. It's called Afternoon At The Museum. The size is three feet x eight feet.
SOJOURN AT THE SEA
I call this one SOJOURN AT THE SEA. People coming to the ocean front on a warm summer evening to look at the harbor.This painting was inspired by a Van Gogh that I like.
WOMAN WITH SPINE
The four lights diminish towards the right thereby bringing the eye in to look at a modern abstraction of my own that I call WOMAN WITH SPINE. This was painted by me after I heard Sarah Palin speaking.
NIGHT CAFE
The painting below is inspired by another Van Gogh that is my favorite of all, titled NIGHT CAFE. It took me the longest to complete, something like two weeks of pleasant work went into this one but you do get a kind of sense of futility with everyone just sitting around waiting for something to happen and the waiter just lounging with nothing to do. Should he play some billiards, or bring someone another brandy?
As I live in a place where it seldom rains, and never snows I thought a peaceful snow scene would be nice. Looking at this one kind of cools me off during a hot summer day.
Which painting do you like? What do you do to relax besides meditation? Please do share your thoughts.
With thanks and appreciation,
