"The Abyss Recreated"

Do you remember the movie, "The Abyss" from 1989 and directed by James Cameron and starred Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio? For some odd reason that movie made an impact on me, or I should admit, scared me. And I did give that movie too much time in my thought life. But anyway, I entertained those particular thoughts further and imagined what if the abyss wasn't that scary after-all. Let's say something happened down there and the abyss was recreated. The abyss instantly was recreated from a black bottomless pit of despair into a place of endless beauty and new life. Thus, this painting came to be.

I painted with oils using soft feathery brush strokes to show the gentle movement of the water. The colors choices were intended to be vivid, brilliant and dramatic because of the new energy that bursts forth. Well, that's what I imagined. Thank you stopping by and always feel free to comment.

Welcome.........

If case you are wondering... Welcome to my new updated blog, out with the old and in with the new! Actually, the older blog started back in 2005 had too many bugs and we felt the best thing was to just start over! And why not! I'm winding down the year here and looking forward to 2010! Making decisions on ideas for a couple of abstract series. Don't you just love abstract art? If you couldn't tell, I love the color & movement! Also, you get to interpret what you see in front of you. At times I need not to be told the message, or view "in your face" art, but rather enjoying expressions of the brush that don't translate an exact idea or perspective, but many! Like when you area kid looking up at the puffy white clouds in the blue sky. You ask yourself or your childhood best friend, "What do you see?".

Keep a look out for my latest abstract paintings. Oh, and there is exciting news about upcoming art auctions on Twitter! How cool is that! Remember, art gives off any room or space great energy.

Thank you for stopping by!
