Faraway Mountains

8×8โ€ Acrylic paint & brushes with acrylic markers on canvas panel

I like the hint of a lake in the background, with the river flowing out from it. I can just imagine the lake scene around the bend. Thereโ€™s something about that that just draws me in.

A little change in technique here: I began with acrylic paints and brushes, and finished with acrylic markers. Iโ€™m going to try a few more like this, and see if I like the results as much as I like the way this one turned out.

You know, I used to be an editorial cartoonist, thinking I could contribute a little to a change in the world through politics. But that ended up just adding negativity to the zeitgeist. And so I quit that because it felt icky.

Then I wanted to make a positive difference through religion and ministry, and I found out that worked even less well.

So now Iโ€™m just painting things that feel good and that I like to look at. And hopefully others will too. And thatโ€™s now my way of contributing positive vibes to the world. I canโ€™t change things out there, but I can make pretty things that can bring some solace and a bit of joy to people.

But of course I reserve the right to be a little more direct and blunt with my feelings with my paintings.
