LayeredCoasterCeiling

It is a new year and one of the things I intend to do is continue to tap into my inner child and play with shapes and colors. These images, produced with GIMP, begin with a tiny detail from the beautifully painted ceiling inside Trinity Church Boston.

It was cold. We couldn’t last long but what we did see this New Year’s Day was quite worth the frigid quick roundtrip.

I know that the formation of this ice on the inside of the windows is indicative of how cold this lovely old house can get at night, but I don’t mind peeking out from beneath the pile of covers to see what the morning sun reveals on the glass.

It has become an ongoing project to capture the angels amidst the green vines of the Edward Burne-Jones & William Morris windows at Trinity Church in the City of Boston. I’ve fallen a bit behind but now I’m back at it!

donald langosy: the poet’s painter

Posted in Books I Love, Inspiration, tagged art, books, creativity, Donald Langosy, ekphrasis, Eric Sigler, Inspiration, muse, painting, poetry, poetry books on December 11, 2017| 1 Comment »

One year ago it was my pleasure to share, in his own words and images, a glimpse into the life of painter Donald Langosy. Through his 14-page Story of My Art, that I condensed into roughly six blog posts, Mr. Langosy shared his amazing creative journey that involved the likes of Ezra Pound, William Blake, his wife Elizabeth and of course there is Shakespeare. His work is unique and quite inspiring as can be seen in the new book Donald Langosy: The Poet’s Painter. This book of 99 poems by Eric Sigler illustrated with full-color reproductions of the 99 paintings by Mr. Langosy that inspired the poet.

Available online from a variety of vendors as listed below. If I have one criticism, after having seen firsthand the scale of some of these paintings, it is that I wish the book was physically bigger. Meanwhile I hope there will be an art opening one day so that more people can view his work up close and meet both painter and poet!
