In 06' we made a lateral move painting wastercolour directly on gessoed birch panel. Over the last year, we began to make our own acrylics & work acrylics on gessoed birch panel. All along, the focus, is a fresh original dialogue on the Canadian landscape, where the emphasis is on the process of discovery: that is, the creative interpretation of some aspect of the world - being coupled with a second process; namely, that of inventiveness - the personal expression of what is discovered.

You have always been a master of water, but your new works, as meticulous as ever, are brighter and more exuberant. At the same time they are profoundly contemplative and quiet. This paradox intrigues me, and renders your work captivating. They may feel so alive because they capture light in a way that plays with the moment, and then slightly differently the next moment and changed again, the moment after that. So they are continuously fresh and vibrant.

Water spilling reflections across the surfaces of silent wetlands. Unique moments in time. Individual meditative moments, quiet places that neither reveal themselves easily, nor ask anyone to specifically to come there, single natural pearls antecedent to / breaking free of any necklaced existence. http://zarowsky.net/gallery/H20-Water_patterns_and-_reflections 6ed8fdd0ab5b9221c881b185ddc38d20 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:03:41 -0500 http://zarowsky.net/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=H20-Water_patterns_and-_reflections http://zarowsky.net/gallery/albums/H20-Water_patterns_and-_reflections/infinity_rings_81_144_5x26_gp.thumb.jpg http://zarowsky.net/gallery/albums/H20-Water_patterns_and-_reflections/infinity_rings_81_144_5x26_gp.sized.jpg http://zarowsky.net/gallery/albums/H20-Water_patterns_and-_reflections/infinity_rings_81_144_5x26_gp.thumb.jpg The idea has grown beyond the initial vision. A series of pure meditations; as the 'water rings' expand towards infinity reaching out beyond the edges of the painting, they take me out into my thoughts at any particular moment. Each time I come back to the painting they take me somewhere else. Equally, 'the beginning of rain', the precious few moments of individual raindrop clarity before the clouds open everything disseminates into a torrent that is every day.

Being funky, they sparkle with life.

Treating light as pure source the paintings are an expression/realization of its effects; water being transparent, always different, lets us explore/express it through the very reflections that try to confine it._ You will find something more in woods than in books._ Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters. _ ~Saint Bernard (1090 - 1153), Epistle__ To purchase any works in the online gallery please contact us at micheal@zarowsky.net http://zarowsky.net/gallery/album03 eb581d64b3830949bf0776eadbb8e8ee Fri, 30 Dec 2011 15:33:02 -0500 http://zarowsky.net/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=album03 http://zarowsky.net/gallery/albums/album03/overnight_snowfall_15_40_x_41_gp.thumb.jpg http://zarowsky.net/gallery/albums/album03/overnight_snowfall_15_40_x_41_gp.sized.jpg http://zarowsky.net/gallery/albums/album03/overnight_snowfall_15_40_x_41_gp.thumb.jpg Spring, summer and fall are wonderful.

Color is the buildings, the plants, the birds, the very names of everything. We end up feeling the true subject here is color.
