I surf the sea of sounds,
searching,
for the resonant voice.
But then it fades…
And the communities’ choir
vibrates the base foundation
into a safer and more
stable place.
It gives me strength,
it gives us fortification
to vibrate in resonant
tandem.
Swishing swiftly through sweeps of leaves
Vibrant colors of every shade dance about my eyes
Chromatic acrobatic winds sway in the trees
With each fallen leaf comes a grain in the sands of time

I think I can get lost in the millions of mindless digital art blurbs I sketch out daily. However for some reason this piece really stood out. As much as I think this piece is great, the more I look at it makes me wonder so much.
Did I just give it a random profound meaning arbitrarily? What makes something great or astonishingly profound? Is it the amount of time spent? Is it the meaning or intent? These questions are just a minuscule slice of the intellectual comprehensive pie of what I try to mentally consume when it comes to the arts, either in creating or critiquing. What are those key factors to being really brilliantly successful or making a ground breaking piece of art?
For this piece specifically: I believe it’s the overall vigorous and bold technique. The color palette is reminiscent of a late autumn or an arid desert landscape. Not one utensil or texture was left out in the creation process. The texture is unapologetic but respectful of the entire composition in its entirety. In conclusion, I believe it’s just as much as a person wants to give a painting or composition art value as what composes a piece of work.

This landscape composition is quite expressive and rough around the edges. With a textured background and a highly expressive brush technique, the composition is unnervingly jittery. Smeared black trees dominate the canvas. Most of them are seemingly out of focus and blurry, like if one was dreaming this scene. At first the landscape could seem scary or daunting but as one peers into its calming chartreuse greens and energetic yellows, a sense of balance and peace over whelms the senses. The method of subtraction was use minimally to add bright highlights to the piece. Scribbles of grass and patches of over lapping paper behind all the paint enriches the landscape with layers of textures.
Here are a few select pics of really vibrant veggies I saw at this farm near my home town. They caught my eye, I hope they catch yours.
acrylic on 16×20 inch canvas. Used just tones of orange and brown for the pallet. Wanted to capture the essence and spirit of a newengland landscape in autumn.
acrylic on 16×20″ canvas. I love New England in the fall. Really been digging the new oranges and reds popping up everywhere this season.
