In this Vermont Night
Scene Painting, "Burlington Time Clock", an original
24' x 36 inch oil on panel, I was inspired by the primitive appearance
of a time clock located at the edge of Lake Champlain in south
Burlington, Vermont. Yes, I know when the aliens come here is
surely where they will land, but that is not my point. What I'm
impressed with from this place is the big nights sky, so much
so I decided to make a painting. After a bit of pondering I knew
I needed a great nocturnal sky coalescing around a ringed moon
in the company of twinkling spangled stars peering through vapor-like
clouds giving illumination to this most beautiful spot where
the natural cosmos and earthlings are engaged in a long dialogue
about the meaning of the heavens above. Some how or other you
can tell time from this spot if you know what your doing. According
to my clock it's about 1:32am. All is well. |
