Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words ... By means of art we are sometimes sent - dimly, briefly - revelations unattainable by reason.

April - Day One

 

ETC:

The nice thing about acrylics is that I can rough sketch both position and size by "blocking in" the elements of a painting and then go over it later and correct it. It's at this stage that I can test colors and composition.

April - Day Two

 

I'm really enjoying this one, and I think it's mostly because I so love the colors going on. I've got Vivaldi and Mozart hangin' with me tonight while I finish this one, and I'm taking a break to go for a bike ride and get some clarity before I return to finish it.

ETC: Done for the night, and not quite finished.

Couldn't Sleep

 

Went to bed, and then got back up to finish it.

April Video Story

 

I put together a little video of my painting of "April," with background music by Arvo Part.

You can obtain a "print" of this painting by ordering it as a greeting card (8½" x 5½").
