Expanse at Towd Point 24″ x36″ oil on canvas By Casey Chalem Anderson
This is that moment right before we lose the light that allows us to see color. The day is turning into night but not before a spectacular show where the sky lights up and reflects all its glory into the water. There’s a thin and fragile dark strip of land running parallel to the sunlit line of bay water.
This is the first painting of my current project “36 Views of Towd Point”. I truly love to go down there and observe the water and sky as it is always different. Lately, I’ve been listening to some mellow jazz like John Coletrain, Ben Webster (one of my Dad’s favorites), and Dexter Gordon. The mood is rhythmic and upbeat but at the same time soft. The visual and the sound together make me feel just the way I want to feel.
Don’t forget the East End Hospice Cigar Box Auction is this Saturday. See my box “Swept Away” below. Click here for all the info:https://caseyart.com/events/
Until next time,
