Azimuth: Celestial objects and their observers....

Azimuth:
This piece simply demanded to be large in it's scope - more like a great epic novel that one spends many hours reading. I chose a canvas that was 48-inches wide x 50-inches high for it. The composition was drawn on the computer and then recreated on the surface. It was important to bring all the elements together so that there wouldn't be big blocks of opaque color - I wanted a synergy among the elements: they were to exist on the image but not to draw attention to themselves.
Overall, I felt that this piece was successful. The strong hot-molten colors command attention, but a soft glow of the objects wear away it's harsh angular presence. It is now available as large scale  prints up to 48 inches at Fine Art America.
