#716

#716 27.9 x 35.6cm Watercolor. I was looking out the window over my drawing table into the yard below.

How different than the view from the window, the distillation of the image. Because we see not one image, like a photo, but many, calling one to do another, and another. Whether representational or abstract, all art is nature, and of art, like nature, there is no end. View my web portfolio here ART BY WILLARD, and on Artfinder.

Work in Progress #714

Painting as construction. I like to explore patterns and structures as viewed from the extremes of almost microscopic close-ups, and at great distance (as views of the ground from miles above)–patterns and structures structures rich in details, which to our eyes, seem almost unrelated to the the visual world on a human scale. I find myself drawn to images that have broken up into these macro and micro details, a crumbling and dis-integration of our visual world. Just beginning to get to the details on this painting.

#492 Posthuman City

Lurching this way and that, the hole inside that wants to be filled, wanting and not knowing what, driven and not knowing why or by what. I make art, and strain to set limits to the self-destructive excess.

The only peace, in dreams.

#713 Finished (& W.I.P)

40.6 x 50.8cm (16×20) Acrylic on canvas, ink. I’ve been working on getting more contrast in tonal values. I check by viewing in black and white. This one passes.The tonal value of the 3 disks is almost identical if you view this in black and white. Good example of how cool hues recede, and warm hues come forward.
