I am someone who likes playing around with images, not an artist or a designer. I'm making these images available for anyone who wants them, but make sure you first read the TERMS OF USE and understand the disclaimers and conditions that I've set out. If you do use my work, I'd appreciate a link back to my blog. Thanks!
This blog is in honor of my mother.
She taught me to see and to love color. Thanks, Mom!
You can see them dancing if you look closely. A button in shades of purple, red, vermilion, deep apricot and peach, with a delicate green border. Many complex patterns in one image.
A ring of carved flowers (green, pink, blue) set in heavy silver or pewter, on a solid black background. There is a central flower in blue with a pink center. Primitive, but exuberant.
An experiment with a glass mosaic effect. I think it works! A tile decorated with circles. Each circle is filled with flowers surrounding a circle of green and white leaves. . Colors are rose, violet, green, yellow, blue grey, and old rose. It really does have an antique appearance.
A starburst carved in stone seen from behind a "screen," creating a striped effect. Colors are NEON purple, violet, and lavender, with just a nuance of blue encircling the central part of the image. The "frame" is transparent purple glass. Sort of a departure for me.
The title is a reference to a poem by Wallace Stevens, which I have quoted elsewhere (The Domination of Black)
Hexagram 48 is the Well. The image is a square "well" in cinnabar "clay" surrounded by an outer rim in a greyish teal. It is part of the central square which is surrounded by multi-colored squares in cinnabar, violet, royal blue, and jade green. There are touches of chartreuse.
A colorful image in clay showing rows of brilliantly colored "lamps." The colors are intense, south-of-the-border colors on a background of dark clay set on a black background. The design is intricate and includes rich egg yolk yellow, orange, lime green, violet, chili pepper red, and one flash of an intense cobalt blue.
