Field of Dreams


This studio piece titled Field of Dreams, oil, 14" x 12" is another attempt at keeping the composition simple/minimalist. The result is a meditative, serene or even dream-like effect. I am drawn to the beauty of clouds, which are, themselves, formed from a few simple ingredients: moisture, dust, heat and air currents. From these is formed towering giants containing incredible energy, all of which happens over a period of just a few hours — only to fade away by day's end. The water particles suspended in the cloud can reflect light from the ground, sky, other clouds and city lights as well as direct light from the sun and moon. Changing shape, size, value and color from one moment to the next, clouds are a constant source of drama and mood throughout the day.
