- In this luminous Landscape
Painting, "Misty Morning II" an original oil on panel,
I was making my second attempt to work from imagination out there
in the mist, you know in the early morning when mist rises up
from the water beside a weeping willow to give reference to the
gradation of mist as the eyes dissolves into the softness of
a luminous atmosphere somewhere out there in my thoughts which
need soothing to start the day off in serenity and simplicity
as my own thoughts illuminate. Again I chose a near monochromatic
primary pallette with blushes of colors ever-so slightly offering
presence to the eye as a compliment to the relative colors and
mood of the painted image. I admit without shame that I got carried
away with the aspects of the weeping willow in the still morning
air gently gripping the draping canopy of the willow tree in
an attempt to promote a 3-d effect as gently as possible in an
oh-so-soft on the mind image of daybreak in the misty world that
is what I imagine to be a heaven on earth for an old weeping
willow.
