Action...Reaction

Update: Was juried into the "Abstract Art Show" at the Post Road Art Center from April 3 - 23, 2014.


early March 2014:
Painted this yesterday, large 24" X 30" on canvas (acrylic paint). I think it is in reaction to having just worked small and thickly on the observed sunflowers. This large painting is thin and loose and abstract. I'm not sure if it is done yet or not...

Isn't there a physics law like that? For every action there is a reaction....or something like that. It's like that in life. It's like that on the micro scale and on the macro scale. Think about electron activity. Think about large systems in our universe. Think about everything in between. Balance and distribution.

I am reminded of a story my mother told me. I do remember asking the question too. In 6th grade, we studied gravity in science. I raised my hand asking that if gravity existed then could there be such thing as antigravity? The teacher reported me to my mother as a questioning thinker. That's a good thing. Gravity/antigravity....action/reaction....yin/yang, isn't it?

Later that day...it is done now. Here is the link:
