ABOUT THE PAINTING:

NOCTURNE: Acrylic on canvas, 2 x 2 FT.

Nocturne is a piece relating to night, a composition of dreamy or pensive nature. The other night, some time last week, I was feeling a little sad about something. I won’t go into details but it being night, I felt it a little more than I might have otherwise. So, I pulled out my brush and began with blue and purple, then filled most the canvas with the cool colors of night and flashes of silvery stars. I was going to continue more forms and designs, as I do with all my other work. But, when I stepped away, I realized that the piece was done. I had captured my moment of the night. The stillness of night, the solitude with its dull whispers of my little fan in my space is stark. It’s a space that is simple, uncluttered with the daily grind of traffic and time to be met. Even in my sadness the other evening, I felt the moment as near to perfect as any other labored composition. I suppose every artist has his or her evening ode; this is mine.
