Abstract figures outlined within the branches


 Natural Direction abstract acrylic painting. 

This piece was created and completed
 in 2009/10 on a large heavy paper.
  
There are two birds hidden directly 
in the middle of the piece, 
abstract figures outlined 
within the branches. 

They sit perched below the center of direction, where all the branches grow toward the light, and reach to the direction of the light, naturally. 

With in the center are two branches that crisscross, the birds are perched above, two owls hiding and waiting, getting ready to head to the light outside the forest.

The green hues below represent the forest, all of its amazing colors, the dark branches represent motion and growth, as well as separate entities from the leaves and grasslands.

This piece was created to inspire hope and direction. Its always best to focus on the brighter things in life, and aim in that direction, but not to forget about the roots that make all things happen.

As they say movement is life, 

but don't forget where your roots began.

Edge of Clarity Forest acrylic painting and Poem

Image
AI assisted article and Poem  In the realm of artistic expression, few mediums capture the imagination quite like acrylic painting. Each stroke of the brush, each swirl of color, is a dance between the artist's vision and the canvas's silent plea for life. In the ethereal masterpiece titled "Edge of Clarity Forest," artist Gemstar beckons viewers into a world where enchantment reigns supreme. As the title suggests, "Edge of Clarity Forest" invites us to the boundary between two realms: the known and the mystical.

Ancients poem and painting

Ancients acrylic painting Ancients poem Woven together through the process of time. Ancients from the past, genetic souls combined. Out of the darkness the first heartbeat took place. Surrounded by a symphony of color in space. Spinning rocks, gases, embers and flames. Billions of years, pelleting asteroids, our planet became. Every drop of water beamed in from outer space. Life giving fluid to seed the human race. Miraculous sparks to shine in the dark. Each of us connected to the beating of the first heart.

Edge of the Forest from Gemstars Art Blog

 Edge of the Forest acrylic painting on paper. In this piece, I saw a beautiful green valley unfolding into an endless sea of blues and greens.  The trees at the Edge of the Forest paused in awe.  The sky wisp past as the wind blows.  There are small portions of snow in the valley bottom, spring poking its head through the ground. Although not much is in bloom, the sense that winter is over and spring time is coming soon.
