The Curious Case for Orange and Green

  The Curious Case for Orange and Green: Do you believe, as I do, that colors talk to each other? How they verbalize is a mystery, but they somehow manage to impact all those that they colorfully engage with. In the curious case of orange and green, nature is boastfully proud to provide these two visually valuable colors in beaucoup creations.

Universe of Discourse: If you stare into this oil painting of mine for any length of time, you may discover the meaning behind the phrase "Universe of Discourse." Many of the elements in an abstract work of art gives the viewer an opportunity to travel within their own mindscape. What does it all this mean? And why should you care? All too often, you and I never fully appreciate the creative journeys our minds are capable of taking. Something always gets in the way. Most often, it's our own self-talk.
