“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight and no vision.”- Helen Keller … “The dreamer’s untamed eye sees beyond the illusions to the heart of what is real.” – Bryant McGill …
the art of eyes … the agony of eyes … the struggle to paint them.
from the canvas pools of azure staring back at me.
the joy … of coming … close.
Studio art left us with thoughts meandering to the poem from John Milton,
‘How Soon Hath Time’.
How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, Stol’n on his wing my three-and-twentieth year! My hasting days fly on with full career, But my late spring no bud or blossom shew’th … Shout out to Bailey G for being SWEET & to Winsor & Newton papers.*
We hope you love this little fellow as much as we do!
*no affiliation just love their products!

🌲
clothed trees
pine needles that
twist and shimmer
disembodied lover’s figures
encased in stones of snow
statuesque vertical branches
imprisoned within a realm of glacial marrow
This is my white chalk on blue stock portrait. Voids were created through gum eraser as well q-tips. Wd-40 was used to assist in “moving” the chalk in order to create the glacier effect surrounding the maiden’s body – hope you like her!
