fine art | light painting
I do not think a lot of peeps, besides my close peeps have seen much, if any, of my fine art work so here ya go. To me fine art is something that you create with no rules just what you find to be art. Going back and looking through some of my work I noticed I see clouds, water and grass. What does that mean...I have no clue but that is what I see. I just think it is so interesting to see what people see. I guess that is why I enjoy hanging around kids so much. I am just fascinated at what they see and I always seem to learn something new from them.
Sooooo the reason I titled this journal "light painting" is because a couple of the prints on here are from a whole series of paintings I did in an interesting way. They were done completely in the dark and without paint. Sounds kind weird huh? What I did is shut off all the lights in my studio and used various size flash lights (think of them as my brushes) and put different color gels (think of them as my paints) over the flashlights. I captured all of this with my camera that was focused on a large white canvas. The shutter to the camera was wide open of 10-15 mins while I painted with light. It was addicting and I would keep doing it every night till I could almost see what was going to be saved on the camera before it was ever created. Then what I would do is print these digital files onto a canvas. The whole point of me doing this in the first place was to make a cool art piece to go above my couch at the loft. Fun stuff.
