PAINTING OF THE MONTH

Rockscape
Oil on Panel
Image 10 x 12 - Framed 16 x 18
$1200

This is not a painting about rocks. Don't look at it, listen to it. Listen to the rhythms as the sun dances up and down the rocks. Feel the heat of the day. Let the clouds drift in and out. Think Monk, Thelonious Monk, improvising. His fingers floating about the keyboard, setting a mood with dissonant harmonies and angular melodic twists. Now listen to the color. Tenor saxophone. Coltrane. Intense chromatic shifts, vivid, sultry. Beautiful.....
