Painting is the best! My absolute medium of mediums is watercolor - namely since it's under-rated and difficult, but not impossible. I love it!
This is a painting I completed earlier in the year. "Gradients" The panels are each 40cm x 90cm, watercolor on aluminum.
An ongoing theme in my work is balance. With global warming and other woes, finding a balance between consumerism and the planet seems to be on everyone's mind nowadays. I tried to express these concerns and thoughts in this painting. What do you think? Is the title fitting? Are titles ever fitting? Should we keep trying to preserve the earth or should we just give up?
This is another piece I completed about a year ago. The process is the same as "gradients". This is entitled "knots". It's another painting that explores relationships between human made and natural environments. Recently started reading "Concerning the Spiritual in Art" by Wassily Kandinsky. I thought this was a good line:
"The spiritual life, to which art belongs and of which she is one of the mightiest elements, is a complicated but definite and easily definable movement forwards and upwards. This movement is the movement of experience. It may take different forms, but it holds at bottom to the same inner thought and purpose."
