"Urfer Family Park Path, Sarasota, Florida"
6"x6" oil painting

"Art is the creation of forms symbolic of human feeling."
- Susanne Langer
This pathway seemed to literally GLOW! As I walked along this soft, sandy passage amongst it's shady taller shrubbery, the sunlight ahead was just beaming with bright yellow, peach and pink radiance. I still have a very clear memory of it in my mind. It was an explosion of color.
This surreal moment created a moving meditation. Listening to the birds and taking in all of the natural beauty of robust color before me was very uplifting, yet calming. The thought of painting this scene gave me the idea for meditative art.
Now the use of color takes on a whole new meaning. Color can affect the human state of mind, so what combination of colors create different mental/spiritual meditative states? This question created a new way to approach painting. A new purpose for growth with the use of color.
On with more experimentation!
Live, Love and Learn!
