Pandora's Box-----Flowers of Pain

Another page from the Pandora's Box series. This was loosely inspired by the poem Flowers of Evil by Baudelaire. I went through a period where Redon was a big influence of mine, he was famous for his other wordly work. he was a great master because he explored fantasy art without slipping into the realm of cheese and kitsch.

Pandora's Box----Dark Spirit

Sometimes a painting or drawing is not clearly defined but rather a fleeting glimpse like a dream or a memory. Some art is "beyond the visible." This is a piece from my series loosely based on the theme of Pandora's Box. I never completely understood these subconscious works and have decided to return to the well of the unknown.

Middle Saranac Lake

This was painted in the Adirondack Mountains on an island in Middle Saranac Lake. The Adirondack Park is one of the largest national parks and has a long history of artists. Winslow Homer painted there and many other great painters. I am trying to get up there soon. The high key/ impressionist color pallet is not normal for me but that was what I saw. The way I scanned it puts the middle mountain in the center a bit more than I like but that is life.
