Vast Verizon


WINTER LAKE

Verizon is a term that is made by the combination of vertical and horizontal, I know it really isn’t, but it is what I think when I hear the word. In my new series I am trying to produce works that will simulate mood by the use of colors and then manipulate the planes of the canvas to create a feeling of distance, to produce Verizon’s of semi recognizable landscapes. Verizon’s, vista’s, landscape’s in abstract, using color contrast to produce a feeling or mood. Blue Sunsets which are the opposite of true sunsets but in using blue give the feeling of chasing of the light, a quiet respite of the sun going down. In the use of reds and oranges a brilliance and heat that gives one the idea of the last hot flashes of an autumn sun. Greens and Yellows for rain and wind will continue to build upon those ideas with flashes of complimentary colors and thick coatings of paint applied for texture and continuity. With so many colors to use and so many ideas to produce there is a vastness of creativity to motivate me. Northern Lights
