Dawn's Promise

 

 

Dawn's Promise, Watermedia, 29 x 22 Inches

 

Rivers are threads connecting communities .  Rivers are always flowing constantly changing.  Dawn is a time of new beginning, symbolic of the promise that every day is an opportunity for growth and change.  As the sun rises, light gradually pushes back darkness.  The painting is symbolic of the battle of dark and light, but the mood evoked is one of peace with the promise of dawn offering hope .

Contrasts

Great Blue, watermedia, 21X14 inches (IM) 29X22 inches (FR

I love long legged wading birds. The stillness of this great blue heron is a nice contrast for the movement in the background. 

Chill Wind

A Chill Wind that Blows No Good, Watermedia: Acrylic,  29X22 inches (FR)

 

Part of my wind series, the tree is from my grandmother's yard, but everything else is from my imagination.  As a little girl I loved the trees in Mamaw's yard because their twisted and knobby character was evidence of their history.  More than 100 years of life in a farmyard serving as everything from playhouse to butcher's hoist.

Louisiana Swampscape

Twilight, Acrylic on Composite Board, 30 X 24 Inches, 2010 www.ouachitariverartgallery.com

 

This painting one of 4 paintings that marked the beginning of a change in my recent work. Twilight is an attempt to capture not only the physical imagery but the emotional myth of the Louisiana swampscape; the eternal battle between dark and light, myth and truth.
