Psychedelic Fabric



Psychedelic fabric makes you see things that may be there or may be in your imagination. Lately I took an interest in Japanese art and the kimono fabric was mesmerizing, intricate patterns of flowers trees and geometric shapes. At the same time I practiced drawing fabric fold with a pencil, like all artists are supposed to do. This painting was completed some time ago, around the time I did 'Woven World'  or shortly after. I think its a good idea, maybe I'll try more like this. Next up is Saturation Cost, a painting about COVID-19 that I have been ruminating on for almost 6 months now. I'm also heading down to Verdun tomorrow to paint the stone house and Lachine rapids. Using a real life, en plein air, 'photoshop' technique I hope to recreate the scene as it was 70 years ago.
