Welcome to FoxVox

I have such a backlog of images to post, so I figured I should get this one out of the way before winter started – LOL. This painting is my attempt to capture the amazing thickness of verdant green leafage here in the Catskill Mountains in the spring. I’m not sure that my scan of the acrylic painting got all of the subtle green variations that I put into the original (and the small version certainly doesn’t express the brown of the tree trunks well), but I tried!

The original is 20″x20″ on gallery-wrap canvas. The funny thing is that I have this painting sitting at the top of a tall shelf next to my desk, with a set of Futurama figurines in front of it – it’s like a bizarre version of Dorothy and friends down the yellow brick road – LOL!

A number of months ago, I created a mixed media piece I called “Primordial Suns”. When another artist friend of mine saw it she told me I should do a series, so I did! Well, a small series of three, but it’s still a series! They are all abstract watercolor paintings with black ink drawings of suns with wavy rays and spirals and other small details…

Primordial Suns I

Primordial Suns II

Primordial Suns III

Each piece was done on 14″x10″ 140 lb. watercolor paper and was a bit time consuming, especially the inked parts. When I was creating the first work, I had an idea that the abstract background represented the formlessness out of which light might have first sprung, thus the suns. Each one has it’s own distinctive feel despite their similarities, like they were the beginnings three different universes. (Yes, I’m a bit philosophical with these – LOL.)
