Fellow artist and blogger David J. Teter, Avid Art, recently discussed sky drama and how he uses it in his wonderful work.
His blog entry prompted me to post some of my older works where I focused on drama and emotion in the sky and ocean.
I so love action and emotion and so much more in my work!

ReplyDeleteHello Celeste! Always so happy to hear from you! I am so glad you like them all. I get great joy and satisfaction painting wild clouds and ocean scenes! I fine clouds and the ocean so very interesting and exciting! Also very dramatic! Thank you Celeste!
DeleteHey Michael! You have reposted some of your own best and most dramatic and emotional of your own. Two of my favorites, 2nd and 3rd down. Your turbulent sea's are uniquely your own, as they should be! I especially love the heavenly light in the 3rd down. It say's to me hope in the middle of that roiling sea.
ReplyDeleteThank you for citing my post. Glad to see you do the same. It shows the work in another context, that to itself.
Thanks for rooting for the Kings run for the Cup. GO KINGS! A true fan you are!

Hello Buddy! When I saw your post I immediately thought of posting some drama too! I am thrilled you like my work. You are such an accomplished artist. To think you like my work is very satisfying! Thanks David!
DeleteYour posts are always worth citing! My pleasure!
I so hope the Kings win for you buddy! Thought my Bruins would have gone a bit farther! Would have loved Kings versus Bruins series. Maybe next year!
I am happy you also love stormy skies and wild clouds!
Take care David. Keep on painting!
Go Kings!!!

It's wonderful, how you've painted this piece with so much atmosphere and with such a strong story suggestion for the viewer! WOW! The blues that you've put together are especially mesmerizing, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, I was commenting on your banner piece, with the blue tones. But all of your paintings in this post are so beautiful and effective, Michael!
ReplyDeleteThank you Katherine! I am so glad you like my banner piece. It is a very important and personal work of mine. It is a depiction of me and anyone of my three brothers on a pier in our home town of Boston, MA.
DeleteIt makes me so happy that you like my paintings. I love your work Katherine. I am not sure why I haven't been getting any updates. I again joined your group and again signed up for emails. Let's hope all goes well! Again, thanks for visiting Katherine!

These really have a lot of life and energy to them. The second and third ones down are just wonderful!

I love every one of these spectacular paintings Michael - they all encapsulate nature at its most epic. You really know how to put drama into your seas and skies. They look fantastic all together here and give an insight into what an amazing exhibition you could make of this theme. I have already been an admirer of David's work having found his blog via yours some time back - his latest post is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAre you taking some photos of your flag bedecked house? Happy flag day for Saturday! Maybe all the stars and stripes will attract the hummingbirds!!
Your Wanna Get to Boston Someday art cobber, Wendy!
Hello My Australian Author Artist Buddy! Hi Wendy! You are so very kind with all your wonderful words! I have often thought of having and exhibit of my ocean and sky paintings. Your wonderful comments may just be the push I need to go ahead and get the ball rolling! Aren't we lucky to be followers of our art buddy David! I love his art and his personality! I agree his latest post is fantastic! (Speaking of latest posts.....hint hint! I think I need a fix of Wendy Barrett's Paintings and Other Creations! What do you think mate!
DeleteI will soon post some photos of our little home with my American flags. Not only do I love my country but I think our flag is so cool. I love the various flags of the worlds countries. As an artist I find them so very interesting. Especially when they are flying all together. Of course I so love the Australian flag. Wicked cool!!!
I am on the lookout for humming birds and other wild life to photo for you. Lately we have been having a beautiful red fox visit our yard. I think there is a den full of pups nearby! Hard to photo the fox though. Very fast!
As you want to visit Boston I would love to travel to Australia! Wouldn't it be something if you did get to Boston! I would have Australian flags at the airport upon your arrival!
Take care mate and enjoy and savor every second on the planet!
Your Wishing You Get To Boston Someday Art "Cobbler" Michael
Love reading your responses Michael! I have indeed been very remiss with my blog posts and hope to rectify the situation today!
DeleteMichael, all very beautifully dramatic, reminiscent of Turner. Which reminds me, there is an exhibition of Turner's seascapes at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Ma. this summer which I hope to get to see.
ReplyDeleteSusan! Thank you for even mentioning Turner in your comment! He and Van Gogh are two artists who have had a huge influence on me! I so love Turner's seascapes. Whenever I am at the MFA in Boston I have to check out "Slave Ship!" In the late sixties, when I was a college undergrad one of my art teachers compared my work to Turner. Sad to say I had never heard of Turner then. After my teacher's compliment I read all I could about Turner and to this day think of his great work on a daily basis! Imagine all these years later you mention my work with Turner's! Yippee is putting my happiness mildly! I am so very excited about going to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem with my family soon to soak up all I can from seeing Turner's work. I think there is a boat leaving from Boston to Salem. Again Susan, Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You made my day!
DeleteTake care and I hope you get to see Turner also!
Your Turner Loving Art Buddy!
Michael
All the movement in your canvases is so rhythmic whether the subject is sky or sea.
ReplyDeleteHello Shirley! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I am so happy that you noticed the movement in my work. It is always one of the things I am aiming to show! I so love painting the ocean and the sky! Thanks again Shirley! I love your work!

Ciao Michael,
ReplyDeleteChe v italità trasmettono queste enormi onde...sembra di vederle che si scatenano e si schiantano ...quasi volessero parlare per far capire la loro potenza e che noi, come sempre, siamo solo moscerini di fronte agli elementi naturali...
Ciao, abbracci, Floriana
Ciao Floriana! So very good to hear from you! I love everything you said about my work. Your comments made me very happy! Grazie! I love how you wrote of the power and wildness of the ocean! Thank you so much!
ReplyDelete(Floriana! I love your work but I am having a problem getting onto your blog! Not sure why but I am always being directed to other sites? I can see your work but I am not able to write comments! )
Take care my friend!
Ciao!
Abbracci!
Michael
