Ancient Majesty
Begin: Artist Morton Kaish recalls reading philosopher William James on how motivation allowed a person to "transcend the obstacles of exhaustion. " By "pushing through", he said, you could "locate new pools of energy". They key was to begin. So artist Kaish posted one word in his studio: "BEGIN." So true! It is only once you begin to work that the ideas come and time evaporates!
Ancient Majesty is 8x8" acrylic media and collage on panel.

In the Cove
In the Cove: I think mixing some representational elements to an abstracted design is nice. Or is it adding abstraction to a representational design? Another in my Harborside series.

On the Ridge
On the Ridge: I'm still working on my Hillside series, too!

Antique
Antique: Continuing to Design by Grid. I'm getting the sense of red lacquer and worn leather. Remembrances of ancestors and their journeys.

Affiche
Affiche: I'm still experimenting with designing in a grid, working with analogous warm colors. Also trying for some interesting texture. As in Graffiti, I'm seeing a wall with traces of old posters, peeled and worn by weather and the passage of time.
