"Sonnet In Blue No.1"

While connected to the collection of "Luna" artworks recently posted, the Sonnet in Blue works introduce wonderfully light touches of blue. I've been thinking a lot about the word impassioned lately...

🌜 "Luna No.3" features an enchanting blend of abstract moonlit botanicals evoking the feeling of walking through an imaginary garden at night under the glow of a full moon. Crafted with charcoal, ink and pastel, "Luna No.3" presents a harmony between textures and shapes that invites viewers to enjoy it's movement and magical moon appeal. Indeed.

Detail image of "Luna No.3" 🌜 to help show diversification of the use of mediums. I absolutely love throwing everything and the kitchen sink at my work, but sometimes it means the work breaks. This approach can be ok at times because it's part of a natural phase of experimentation to discover how far you can push a particular medium. For the Luna series, I used block printmaking ink to introduce the soft feathered white petals and bright white highlights.

Not my people. Just random strangers. I enjoy snapping photos of situations in the moment. My object of affection is "Laocoön" by El Greco which I had not been able to visit for a little while. I'm not sure why, but the curators seem to keep moving it around in the museum. It's like going on an treasure hunt...or maybe it's just me. I once traveled across the country just to see this painting.

I fell in love with random, sporadic photography decades ago while I was in Chicago. I took a crappy one-click pocket camera to the shoreline and photographed people/ figures for a painting project I was working on at the time (I needed more anatomical information). When I got the little prints back I laughed out loud. I had caught people in normal, absolutely magical moments. Simply being.

🖤🖤🖤

What are they thinking I wonder.

A pleasant coincidence. "Keelmen Heaving in Coals by Moonlight" - Joseph Turner. Operative word: moonlight. 🌜

While not one of my major artistic influences over the years, I do look at Turner for lighting hints and answers from time to time. His use of white and black to this day, makes me happy. You would think this painting is enormous, like 8x10 ft. because of the way it feels. But no, it's mid-size-ish. And I'm pretty sure he troweled a little with his palette knife...the white is thick, rich and frosting-like. Yes, I got that close to it what can I say. I HAD to.

A detail image of "Luna No.1" an original 17w x 13.5h (in). drawing on 640gsm paper. 🖤 You may be asking yourself...Sara, why do you always mention the paper specifications? Well, to pro art nerds like me, this kind of information is very important. And, as a collector, it should matter to you as well. It equates to a behind-the-scenes understanding that I deliberately and carefully selected a heavy-weight paper to create this work. 100% cotton, mould made, archival, hot-press Italian paper in warm white. 🖤 More details about Luna No.1 are in the 🔗 bio link. 🌜
