This piece, when folks walk into the gallery, is usually the first one they cross the floor to see. They are mesmerized by it, drawn to it like a moth to a flame. It's commanding!
You know, I try not to copy paintings, but in this case I've tried, on multiple occasions, to duplicate the broad loose style and wonderful healing energy of this painting, as I love it so. I've Gotten no where close to this one.
The energy captured within these kinds of paintings are rare. You can't plan these paintings. They come about after those incredibly rare gift moments. Those rare moments when, like in this case, one early sunny morning, rather than barging into the studio, I paused at the door to look around at nature before going in. Not sure why. Just did? A huge smile came to my face smile and feelings of immense gratitude washed over me and continued to increase over the next few hours. A wonderful gift of bliss as paint flowed over white canvas effortless in a harmonic unconscious agreement between unknown and unconcerned forces to emerge with a painting that reflected a moment in time that captured heaven on earth. I've stopped trying to re-create this painting. It would be like trying to recreate the past. I accept this painting and be grateful for the moment that is was - a wonderful moment in my life.
Why 'Revival'?
During these early days of the Covid 19 challenges, I made a commitment to create a series of paintings with a theme; only bright, colorful, 'cheerful' works which emanate positivity, hope and reminders of better days to come! 'The Revival Series."
This is a VERY special painting in that it is the very first of a new style - a broad, fresh approach to an abstract look that I have been pursuing - a one of a kind!

There may be many, MANY paintings in this series, and you know what - that's just fine with me as that is something I can do to be of service; be a part of the solution, not the problem.
