I was inspired by the contrast and affect of soft, quieting snow to busy city life and its bold structures. This was mainly painted using a palette knife and heavily textured with impasto.

Made in Ultra Fractal 5. As this Montana winter wears on, I’ve tried to recapture the magic of the first time I lived through a cold winter. I grew up in Hollywood and only saw the snow on short trips to Big Bear. First Snow was featured in FRACTAL FRENZY and COLOR ME A RAINBOW. / Featured in A FASCINATING PURPLE on April 2, 2009.
Taken in ‘Roman woods’, Cambridge. NOT ‘as is’
Simply water droplets and the patterns they make… This is condensation on a water bottle, I used my macro lens for this one and the background was my computer screen. :D Enjoy!

Made in UF 5 Bayside – Winter / / When winter falls next year, / I’ll be holding on to anything nailed down. / As for being patient, / With fate and all it’s getting old. / And my mind is slowly changing. I’m calling all my oldest friends, / Saying sorry for this mess we’re in. / And I’m waiting, waiting, / For the sun to come and melt this snow, / Wash away the pain and give me back control, control. An angel got his wings and we’ll hold our heads up, / Knowing that he’s fine. / We’d all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime. Should we still set his plate? / Should we still save his chair? / Should we still buy him gifts? / And if we don’t did we not care? It makes you think about the life you’ve led, / The shit you’ve done, the things you’ve said, / And its grounding, grounding. / I’ve been feeling 3 feet tall this month, hardly indestructible, / But the snow melts and the rhythm still goes on. An angel got his wings and we’ll hold our heads up, / Knowing that he’s fine. / We’d all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime. Friends stay side by side. / In life and death you’ve always stole my heart. / You’ll always mean so much to me it’s hard to believe this. These nights in vans, / These nights in bars, / Don’t mean a thing with empty hearts. / With empty hearts. An angel got his wings and we’ll hold our heads up, / Knowing that he’s fine. / We’d all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime. Friends stay side by side. / In life and death you always stole my heart. / You’ve always meant so much to me it’s hard to believe. / So much to me it’s hard to believe. / So much to me it’s hard to believe this. / /
Made with UF 5 Featured by # 1 ARTISTS OF REDBUBBLE 10-26-08 / / Bob Seger- Turn the Page / / On a long and lonesome highway, east of omaha. / You can listen to the engine moaning out its one lone song / You can think about woman, or the girl you knew the night before, / But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do. / When your riding sixteen hours and theres nothing much to do / And you dont feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through. / Say, here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage. / Here I go, playing star again. / There I go, turn the page. / Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road, / You can feel the eyes upon you as your shaking off the cold / You pretend it doesnt bother you, but you just want to explode. / Most times you cant hear em talk, other times you can. / Oh the same old cliche, as that woman on her a man / You always see my number, you dont dare make a stand. / Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage. / Here I go, playing star again. / There I go, turn the page. / Out there in the spotlight your a million miles away, / Every ounce of energy, you try and give away, / As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play. / Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed, / With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head, / You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said. / Now here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage. / Here I go, playing star again. / There I go, turn the page. / Here I am, on the road again. there I am, up on the stage. / Ah here I go, playing star again. / There I go, there I go. / /

As I was painting this abstract, I pondered the many meanings to the word “approach”...for example there is…. / The simple act of drawing near…. / A way, passage, or avenue by which a place or buildings can be approached; an access. / The temporal property of becoming nearer in time..e.g. “the approach of winter” / The final path followed by an aircraft as it is landing… / My painting is mainly concerned with the last two…I wanted to evoke both meanings of the word…it is the final curtain of autumn and winter is fast approaching..pockets of red and orange gleam here and there, as autumn stubbornly defies the chill, but at night the icy fingers of winter touches everything with frost..in the countryside snow drifts casually down, as if refusing to admit it’s here for good…another look at the painting evokes the final approach to land…stars twinkle in the night sky, the land shows the last vestiges of fall and the approach of winter….we are excited, relieved to have made it home safely once more... Watercolour on Aquaboard The half-stripped trees / struck by a wind together, / bending all, / the leaves flutter drily / and refuse to let go / or driven like hail / stream bitterly out to one side / and fall / where the salvias, hard carmine— / like no leaf that ever was— / edge the bare garden. William Carlos Williams / A Conjunction of Elements / After The Harvest / There’s A Light in the Darkness / Midnight on Egdon Heath / Reflected Glory / Tightwire / Realities
It’s the first day of winter in Canada, and though we have no snow here in Toronto, Ontario, just north of us it is very deep and very cold…it’s unusual that in the city there is none….I’m not complaining, I love that it’s still fairly warm and dry, so this painting is from remembered first days in the past...a few samples from the Winter series can be seen below Watermedia on Arches Paper “On the first day of winter, / the earth awakens to the cold touch of itself. / Snow knows no other recourse except / this falling, this sudden letting go / over the small gnomed bushes, all the emptying trees. / Snow puts beauty back into the withered and malnourished, / into the death-wish of nature and the deliberate way / winter insists on nothing less than deference. / waiting all its life, snow says, “Let me cover you” Laura Lush, The First Day of Winter / Grateful / The Sentinels / Winter’s Light / Birchwood / Effet de Neige
