I’m writing this on our Winter Solstice… the shortest day of the year. That means there is only more light coming tomorrow. For me, the light is lost around 3pm in my studio during the winter. This year, I did a major re-organization in the studio. A big “spring clean” during late fall. I am ready to start a new 2021! How about you?
My Lover’s Eye - Comet Neowise
Oil on panel rimmed with copper 8x12”
So much has happened in 2020. My Califia Series debuted at Sullivan Goss. I am still following that muse and finished the year by adding My Lover’s Eye- Comet Neowise to the Lover’s Eye collection.
It seems that starry nights have filled the most recent panels. The little trio are an interesting contrast to the bright sky in Bloomin’ Señorita. Maybe a sign of the times?
I also made a fun little trio of gouaches that were inspired by a little wooden figurine family made by Wendt and Kuhn. They made me laugh… the Father Moon, Mother Sun, and Baby Star. I thought of those funny family photos we all take on family vacations. So I created some scenarios of a celestial family going on vacation to planet earth….and what they may find.
A little humor to end 2020. I’m ready for more light and hope in 2021 !
Be happy and well,
Holli Harmon
