The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down

Art Doesn’t Have To Be Grand To Be Noticed, And Loved.

After coming across Crista Pisano’s works, I realised that I have been trying too hard to make my paintings fit into the mainstream’s “large” canvas sizes. Art don't have to be grand to be noticed and loved. This realisation was liberating.

Beautiful sunset over Kennett Square along Kaolin Road

We drive on Kaolin Road many times, and during sunset, and the condition is right, the skies are beautiful over the tree lines. Unfortunately we cannot safely pull over to enjoy the scenery as they swoosh by, so I try my best to commit to my memory the spirit of the sky and land. This studio painting was a cumulation of memories of the different fields, and tree lines I saw as we drove by.

The last day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere

I rode my foldable bike over to Anson B. Nixon Park to explore more of the park. It is a lovely park, a jewel of Kennett Square. It was the last day of summer and I noticed hints of changes in the leaves. They were turning orange. Where the orange leaves landed on the bluish-green grass in the shade, the leaves seemed to glow but ever so subtly. Delightful. I think the colours for this fall will be quite vibrant.
