My third fantscape: the golden hen…

June 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Marvelous animals usually appear in my “fantascapes”… I do not know way…

It’s a paradox I could, for the moment, comprehend: when I start an “abstract” painting (no model or preconceived “plan” in mind) I usually end up with something figurative. And vice versa, I start with a model, something figurative, and end up, sometimes, with an almost abstract painting… Could be my congenital stubbornness, my indiscipline…

Anyway, here it is my third Fantascape. I hope Miki and Susan will see it someday adn tell me their opinions…

This is the golden Hen, “Pasarea maiastra” (Marvelous bird) from the Romanian folk fairy tales. It came to me naturally, insidiously, after repeated strata of painting…

My second fantascape

June 15, 2008 · 2 Comments

There isn’t much to comment about… I’ve tested some new acrylics, a Rich Gold from Kryla (Daler Rowney) and some other new (for me) colors, like the burnt orange… It’s just a form and color experiment and if somebody likes it, ok… if not, ok too…

Since 8-9 days, anyhow, the visits on all my blogs on WordPress dropped dramatically for no apparent reason… Vacation, maybe? suggested a friend. Well, maybe. I’ll continue to do my thing anyway. No better things to do anyway (Angelina Jolie being so bussy to procreate with Brad I couldn’t talk to her anymore…)

Fantascapes: my first green whale fantascape

June 1, 2008 · 6 Comments

Two exceptionally talented artists, Susan http://susancornelis.wordpress.com/ &

Miki http://mikiaboom.wordpress.com/ started a game. They did alternatively (or simulgtaneously?) published so called “fantascapes” (landscapes from other world, fantasy landscapes) on their blogs… They gave me the itch to play too… and since, sometimes, I do also landscapes which aren’t from this world, I asked them permission and VOILA! my first fantascape… One with a green whale… Don’t ask me why a whale and why a green one… There must be some freudian-shout explanation to that… Hope they (and you, whom read this) like it…
