My weblog ELECTRON BLUE, which concentrated on science and mathematics, ran from 2004-2008. It is no longer being updated. My current blog, which is more art-related, is here.

I hope you like purple

There hasn't been a lot of Electron blogging lately because I've been working hard to finish a new painting. It's done now, so here you go. More information about the artwork below this image. Title: POSTCARDS FROM THE MULTIVERSE. Acrylic and watercolor on watercolor board. 20" x 12".


"Postcards" is inspired by the far-out but much-publicized modern physics idea that our universe may be only one of an infinite number of universes, each of them with different basic quantities and even basic physical laws. Some of these universes may be composed only of formless energy, others of completely solid matter, and still others might have hardly any matter at all. Many of these would disappear or consume themselves in a short while, but others would be born in energy only to run down quickly into cold inactivity. Among all of these is ours, with a life-filled planet existing at least in one place in our universe. There may be others, which we will never know about. Or there may be none. The rectangular "postcards" are each from a different universe, and the whitish one at the top is either at the end of the universe or the beginning of another one.

This picture took much longer than I thought it was going to take. There were technical problems with using acrylic as watercolor but I wanted to use it because it is bright. I decided to use purples and violets for the main color scheme because it is unusual to see these colors in a painting, and also because lightning and other energies in air make that color.
Now on to another universe. I'll write if I get work.
