"Inspiration is not a sudden light from space but a compulsion born of sharpened observation and perception". - Bud Biggs, American Artist, 1906-1985
I don't paint what's popular, what other people paint, or even what I think I should paint. I paint what I'm "driven" to paint. The elements and principles of design, color theory, and technique are instruments in the symphony but they are not the conductor, I am.
Perhaps that's why I titled this 36"x48" acrylic painting, "Symphonic Twilight". In the twilight hours, I was inspired by an aspen grove in New Mexico. There was just a hint of purple and I just ran with it! If there is just a hint of light in the room, this painting just glows.
