reveal for GONE with the WIND Gallery

Have you ever tried to capture what you don't see. The theme for the artist challenge was from the infamous movie "gone with the wind". There are times am in awe of the force of the wind. Tornado, hurricanes, even a brisk March wind has power. The air becomes charged with a certain glow; prism of light charged. Often wonder how do the birds of the air still stay afloat. This is that perspective with the feel and the glow.

This piece is 16x20x2. Acrylic fluids. Original available and will have reproductions and giclee upon request.

(Side note; Cheryl-thank you for sending the photograph of your Acacia tree blooms of your homeland Canada. The delicate flowers are what got my mind wrapped around this piece! the bark is not the same- artistic liberties me thinks!)

Here, the canvas print is the refection of artists mind about heavy power of wind

Sonya ! This is so beautiful. I see the blossom blowing in the wind :)

Did you know another name for the Acacia is Black Locust. How fitting as I think of locusts madly dashing about.

You're very welcome Sonya, I'm happy to be a wee part of this masterpiece :)

Thank you Canvas Prints and Cheryl for the comments!

Just found this morning that this piece was awarded an honorable mention in the www.lightspacetime.com site.

It will be viewed online for a month and then archived.

That tells me it's a go to work under the concept of light, space and time for the solo show. My mind is reeling with the possibilities.

Oh yes and its so powerful when we do. To capture beyond what we see lifts the art to a new level and this one really does. Congratulations
