The latest addition to my Archipelago of the Three Lovers series. It's a science fiction series of paintings and/or abstract paintings with a slight nod to being something.
Imagine three planets (the three lovers) in close orbit around a point in space. They're close enough together to share an atmosphere and occasionally scrap by each other knocking bits and pieces, plants, animals and people off into this shared atmosphere and these rocks then hang suspended like motes of dust within the shifting gravitational pull of the three planets. This is the archipelago, drifting 'islands' in free fall in the space between the worlds. I seem to remember an Edger Rice Burroughs book with twin worlds and a shared atmosphere, but I think three worlds would work better. Since it's actually weightless in the archipelago, the 'wings' of the various crafts are moved like oars to move the boats amongst the floating islands.
I tried using additional acrylic medium with a little paint to try to get more depths into the painting, with a little success. Maybe.
