R.S. CONNETT ~ ART and WORDS
Here's something a little different. Entitled "NANOFAUNA" (9" x 12", Acrylic on board)
I enjoyed making this painting. It never bored me. It has a complexity that I find fascinating. On the other hand, it doesn't have a lot of "life". What I'd like to do is try to blend this sort of complex structure with my life forms, inject more "organic" into it, ... give it more life.
A small experiment of mine, only 6" x 6", "NanoFlower" Different, a bit more "abstract"
A small commissioned piece. The size is 10" x 20". (Acrylic) I think I will use this plant in my much larger "GARDEN" commission, (40" x 60") coming up later this summer.
Acrylic on wood panel. 18" x 24" (45.7cm. X 61.0 cm.)
This is a commissioned painting. The commissioner is in the pharmaceutical business. He suggested that I include (if i could) some of his wares. That was an opportunity for me to express my feelings about the subject in symbolic prose, via my paint and imagination.
The scrotal looking plants in the painting are my favorites, California Pitcher plants, also known as "COBRA LILIES". These clever plant adaptations entice their insect pray into a narrow mouth, heading toward a digestive "pot" with inward pointing hairs, preventing the insect from reversing out.
"METAVERSE" or, "The Metaverse Sea"
18" x 18" (45.7 cm x 45.7 cm.), Acrylic on wood panel
This is my most recent commissioned painting, (April 2011) The title is "METAVERSE" or "The Metaverse Sea".
I thought it would be interesting to create a "stage like" outer environment with which to gaze in at inner world I created. This "outer world", like an opening in a cave, is something I have not done before.
