A New Color Scheme This oil painting I would like to call ‘Rusalka’ in honor of the latest developments in Ukraine. It is an elaboration of my pastel drawing ‘Free Floating Blue Wave Nude – 10-02-21’. That one was based on a previous graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 19-07-16’. It is one of those rare examples of doing one motif in all three mediums I came to master. Why this specific painting right now, one might ask. Well, after my last painting ‘Risque – 22-02-22’ I was in for something new. I felt I had exhausted that specific color scheme of reds, greens and yellows for the time being. Maybe it was that I also had to overcome some challenges on a level of color saturation. That is why I wanted to refrain from using reds this time and use to a new color scheme. Perhaps I wanted something cooler, more mysterious. All Hell Broke Loose Then all hell broke loose and the Russian-Ukrainian war started. Nevertheless did I have the color blue in my head for weeks now. Strange and how great our subconsciousness seems to work. The blue and yellow in the pastel may have reminded me to the Ukrainian flag somehow. The theme doesn’t have to do anything with the current war started by Russia at first sight. Then I remembered some of these Slavic folklore tales, stacked with goddess, nymphs and nixes. There was this thing about mythical mermaids. I guess they are present in many legends all over the world but a specific one I recalled: Rusalka. The Ukrainian tale talks about a young women that drowned in a river or lake and came to haunt it. She is not necessarily malevolent but you’d better be aware when you put your foot in the water as a young Russian soldier. How Blue Can you Get? Apart from the politican and mythical aspects I used cooler...

my new music piece in my ongoing series of music and or dance themed paintings. This one is my guitar zen II, I love to deconstruct a subject or concept. It's like layers of reality are being removed to create rhythm and movement. I put H.E.R. in this one because I love her music and the way she slays the guitar. and she's so cool. Oil and cold wax on loose canvas, it's signed in front and on the back. I sign & write the title, date & info on the backs of my paintings always. The buyer will have to have it stretched on bars or framed, most frame shops do this and usually have other options to offer .I painted out to the edges of the canvas so if it is stretched on bars the edges will be painted so it will look great without a frame. So it will be rolled and shipped i...
