Amethyst Sky We can imagine infinite possibilities

We can imagine infinite possibilities about what she will do next

and I painted this over a panel that I initially tinted with reds and earth tones to contrast with all of the summer green

When I discover magical places like this

hypnotized by the water washing down my windshield

I caught this moment along Yellowhammer Branch on the trail to Bear Creek Falls

Amethyst Sky We can imagine infinite possibilitiesI've always been interested in the "puzzle piece" patterns of light and dark shapes within subjects, and in my recent works I'm exploring this interest to a greater extent. With this subject from Lower Manhattan in New York City, I enjoyed the added effect of a super cool rim light on the sunlit pedestrians. I caught this moment during a mild late fall afternoon, when the steep angle of the sunlight yields dramatic and fun shadows.
