This figure has been drawn, painted, scratched and generally imprinted in my brain for many weeks, now. My friend Diana Prevot, a wonderful landscape artist, advised me to draw a figure so many times that I could do it in my sleep. She said that pretty soon it would become organic and take on a life of its own.<\/p>\n

Finally I have a design for the minimalist painting for my architect friend in Minneapolis. His hi-rise condo is very structured and angular with concrete floors, visible duct work and lots of corners on the gorgeous furniture which he crafted himself. I wanted to give him two things: An oval rug for the living room, and a painting for his bedroom that had movement and curves.\u00a0 He’ll get the painting.<\/p>\n

What you see here is a small piece, but matted and framed is 16 x 20.\u00a0 I am going to do several more of these with different backgrounds and different angles and posture, maybe superimpose some over the other to indicate movement.\u00a0 This might become a series, who knows?\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Addendum:\u00a0 I was playing around, trying learn the incredibly difficult Adobe PhotoShop Elements and thought these three versions looked pretty neat.\u00a0 What do you think?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Used the "distort" feature which lets you decide on the wave action<\/p><\/div>\n

Added a "diffuse glow" - love the darkness of this one<\/p><\/div>\n
