cloudEscape #11

Although this work is the size of a study for a larger painting, it is a stand-alone intimate work referencing the awe and wonderment I experience through cloud-filled days and nights. It is not based on photographic reference, rather it is an emotive cloudscape and an optical carrier of impermanence and flux.
The title comments on my painting being an escape from my computer work for clients where I have produced websites, logos and branding since 1995.
Full signature is found on the back of all artworks and on the front lower right is a symbol resembling an M. This shape is a stylized bat in flight harkening back to my many years of cave exploring, annual bat counting, creating cave photographs, drawings & paintings, cave surveying throughout Oklahoma and I was included on the surveying team of Carlsbad Caverns.
