Ira Kennedy for Moda Sunflower Dreamscapes

Ira says of 'Sunflower Dreamscapes'.... "For many years I painted in a realistic manner.  A trip to Australia taught me that art is beyond national or cultural boundaries.  While my technique is generally referred to as Pointillism, it is actually much different in approach.  I combine the movement found in the works of Van Gogh with the inspriation derived from Australian Aboriginal Art to create a unique style.  I have chosen to paint what can't be seen, art that is not about the color I see, but he color I feel.  Not just the shape but the shape's meaning.  The rhythm of dots throughout the painting create an overall visual field that conveys a sense of wholeness, being alive with the movement, and shimmer of life."
