The Lighthouse (For Creative Tuesdays)


Over at Creative Tuesdays, this week's theme is Lighthouses.  When I used to work the Maine market I would sometimes drive up and down the coast from just north of Portland down to just below Old Orchard Beach.  I recall a few really nice lighthouses, in particular the one near Cape Elizabeth, which is just south of South Portland.  There's just something very intriguing and freeing about lighthouses.  Please stop by to CT and check out the various inspirations this theme has produced from the excellent artists that contribute there.

Frozen Features of Scenes Unsaid


Ice floes
stumble

Islets
suffer
the hoar

Driest ground
grows inward
at the premonition
in the sand

Tides flash
in directions
frozen up
above the
facets of imagination
swimming deep
below the cold
physique of scenes
unsaid

Unsteadied Currents






Shoulders roll as thoughts contour
the landscape of its architecture.

The mind escapes the flaws and quakes
as crested embankments redden each stream of space.

With lost horizons stained askew, welled inside are
veils obscured; torturous to touch, the vesicle reveals.

As the truth turns stern, waves discern,
forever redirecting the crutch; an expanding frame,

broken, from the inside out; unsteadies
as the vein distorts its portrait born.

Voltage passes through minds-eye, where
escaping thoughts infect all they flutter to.

A passive surge, disrupts then sears; the shade
its silhouette suffers from. 

Inhibition blocks cognition. Suffocating ‘til the twitch is gone.

Satellite Imaging of an ever Changing Topography




Pretty pleased with the results here.  My aim was to paint a variety of views, as one often sees the Earth illustrated, when seen from outer space.

I've always been really fascinated with how the surface area appears, and then how it's appearance alters as you move closer to the Earth's surface, and then even more dramatically once you reenter the atmosphere.

These paintings here are simply put, my attempts to recreate such satellite imagery, with of course a bit of the abstract flare I like to toss about.

In addition, I wanted to administer a real sense of movement and weather patterns.
