The High Path...
The Path to The Tower(8x10,oils, $SOLD)
Japanese animation god Hayao Miyazaki was the inspiration here and Thomas Cole's brushwork. I was playing with sunset colors and clouds, which I can paint more or less by memory. This is what is important about taking the time to view a sunset-memorize the colors and how the shadows are. It's also relaxing and makes you feel very "in the moment, one with the universe" kind of thing as overly philosophical as it sounds. Cole handled plants and clouds with this almost patterned way of repeating brushstrokes. Thomas Cole can teach alot; Fredric Church would attest. I'm also a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki and his amazing films such as SPIRITED AWAY and LAPUTA-CASTLE IN THE SKY. I tend to lose myself in them and, come away with a ton of ideas of my own.
