I have been working on a series for quite some time which is based in the style of nocturnes.
Monet, Whistler, and a Number of other artists PAINTED NOCTURNES WHICH ARE STUDFIES OF DYING LIGHT AND THE ONCOMING OP DARKNESS. i'M TRyING THIS WITH LIGHTG RARTHER THSN PIGMENT.

I CALL THE SERIES COLORS OF DARKNESS and they are digital collages. The photos were taken by frienbds in their trips to India. i was grsnted permission to use them fior making art.

The image is simplified and then the painting begins. the final will become prits an d wilkl be collec ted in an artist book.

TRANSPARENCY

Having just read TRANSPARENCY IN TEXTILES by Karen THORNE which leaves a lot of room for personal experimentation, which i really like in a book, i developed this digital image from scratch, printed it onto acetate, discussed in my own forthcoming book DIGITAL LIGHT; i plan to layer pieces of it with chiffon scarves and stitching to create a small vessel to be placed where it will catch the ambient light. i'm thinking assemblage or a some larger constructions. there are a number of techniques described. this is a wonderful book for the non-project oriented although the project-oriented will like it as well. Definitely on the recommended list if you are at all adventurousx.
