@MichaelWhelan This sums up how I feel most mornings symbolically

@MichaelWhelan@mastodon.art This is a beautiful piece! <br/> On a slightly unrelated note, I've been meaning to comment for a while that (having been somewhat involved with publishing over the years) it is so refreshing to hear you talking about your book covers as someone who is obviously inspired by the content of the book so I'll take the opportunity to say that now as well.

@MichaelWhelan Lovely!

@MichaelWhelan This looks very “Courts of Chaos” did you do any Amber Covers?

@MichaelWhelan Ah yes, Caspar David Friedrich!https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abtei_im_Eichwald?wprov=sfla1

DREAMSEEKER (2016)Acrylic - 24" x 18"The first of a possible series of paintings exploring my disillusionment with the "progress" of society. The stars represent the hope she's looking for on the horizon.https://www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/dreamseeker/#fineart #personalvisions #imaginativerealism

The wisdom comes from engaging in the effort personally—no one can do it for you. 2/2https://www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/enlightenment/

@kunev @MichaelWhelan Wow, I didn’t know there was a real person behind the character. I’m looking forward to learning more about her.

THE DREAMING LANDS (2002)Oil on Canvas - 20” X 30” This painting is one of several works derived from my experiences at MSKCC in 2000. 1/4#fineart #imaginativerealism #personalvisions #mskcc

ARMENIA (1990)Oil on Canvas - 22” x 35”Ar-me-ni-a, city in the sky, a Who song, not the country. This painting is part of a series dealing with what Barbara Tuchman describes as the disillusionments of twentieth-century man. 1/5#personalvisions #imaginativerealism #fineart #barbaratuchman #thewho

ÉMIGRÉ (2006)Acrylic on Panel - 12” x 12”A study done at the time I painted END OF NATURE VII, later finished to become a new small painting in its own right. If only she indulged in a little self-examination, she would know that she carries the means to a new beginning on her own shoulders.https://www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/emigre/#personalvisions #imaginativerealism #fineart #endofnature

HOPE (1997)Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 13” x 10”Ammonites have always been meant as a personal form of “memento mori” symbols in my art. They are cautionary reminders of our impermanence. 1/3#personalvisions #imaginativerealism #fineart #virtues
