Needless to say, I shouldn't discuss plans for what I am planning to get to here-- the muse seems to get a bit unruly when burdened with expectations. So today, I worked on one for the Sanctuary series--I think it is getting close, it is a bit hardedged and I want to soften some areas.
I also took a few detours-- I think I need to start a new series just titled Detours-- for experiments and explorations that just don't seem to fit in anywhere else-- but are part of my process of discovery and I still like to look at. These 3 seem to be a morph of the cruciform structure of the Sanctuary series but with the curving forms of the Soar series-- they didn't know what they wanted to be-- but the colours make my heart sing and they look so cool together.

Ohh, I love this idea of having a 'detours' series! I need one of those, as well! LOL
You are right, the Sanctuary/Soar trio look great together...you should sell them as a triptych. I wonder where they will want to settle...maybe they will not!
I very much like the Sanctuary piece at the top. Sometimes, it is nice to have that tension (although probably not in a 'Sanctuary' series) of the harder edges against a soft background, however I agree with you some softening up of these edges would be a very positive move.
These colors are really working great! I love how they pull the eye in softly, but with the colors of fire!
Wonderful Work, Elis! I love watching your processes.
no surprise there, elis, canuckistanians take lotsa detours, especially around all the potholes that pockmark our roads every spring ;) lol
oh, and the art's grand :)
