The desire to embrace the sun, to feel its warmth penetrate and make translucent, its power to reveal the secret places of the soul. But not as Icarus, to become careless in exhilaration and take for granted the freedom of flight and the power of creation.

Le Samohtra Cache
Woven into the fabric of this painting is a mystery. Embedded in this 16" by 20" acrylic painting are subliminal images that suggest another world. Perhaps you can find enough of them to formulate the idea. In the next painting, Samohtra will attempt to capture the luminosity of the sun as it penetrates and impregnates the sunflower with light. Translucence in this painting is limited to a few areas perhaps to keep the mystery intact.
La Fleur du Soleil
Samohtra has always loved sunflowers , even before he became acquainted with Van Gogh's stunningly beautifull sunflower paintings. This painting attempts to capture its fading glory as it descends to the ground, pulled down by the ponderous weight of its head. Soon it will be crucified by the birds and squirrels that ravage and plunder for its many seeds. The acrylic painting on canvas measures 16" by 20", is the first in a series of paintings that attemt to reveal a passion for the flower of the sun.

El Kolupski Reconstitue
A dastardly deed! Part of the El Kolupsk drawings have mysteriously disappeared! Samohtra restores the original lower drawing of the previous blog in this blog with a much smaller file size. As a bonus another drawing of El Kolupski has been added.
