"The Woods" series

These are some of the black light paintings I spoke briefly about last month.   These are some of the first in the series.   They are mainly florescent (day-glow) pigments , black gesso and glow in the dark for stars in the sky and for the critters eyes.

  The pigment is such that it requires a black light to truly see the colors the way they were ment to be.

  The inspiration for these pieces comes from spending many hours in the woods in the fall searching for wild gourmet mushrooms with friends and our dogs.   Such woods are magical places indeed.
