The Fishbird The Deers The Moon
~*Fishbird – drawing then liquify filter – by Darren Daz Cox*~
My friend Cathy Dailey came up with the original fishbird in the 80’s and it’s been a reoccuring motif in my art ever since! Another motif that appears in my art are deer! Below is a painting I did a few years ago, Deers in Twilight, it is an acylic painting with mega thick textures!

I like the mystery of twilight when the noctournal animals wake up and start their day, that transition time seems to have a certain magic! I seem to paint the moon quite often too, this next one is called Nocturne, acrylic paints with a super crusty texture from glue alchemy! I then used silver paint on the edges!

Many of these paintings, especially the more abstract ones were random experiments in techniques and I recommend that you just wing it sometimes with your art and see what happens!

I found some detail shots of the horse painting I was talking about earlier! Here you can see the variety of textures!

Daz,
On your birdfish, What is liquify filler mean? I am not familiar with that, or I forgot the term.
I really like your Moon paintings a lot. They stand out. It’s like you absorbe something from them. or, I feel I do.

oh, the “liquify filter” is a “smudging” tool within Photoshop that allows the user to push the pixels around, like how you would push blobs of paint around but instead of the paints mixing and turning brownish the colors of the digital paints stay their same color allowing you to create some nice art!

Ok, so now I’ve FINALLY had the time to sit down and check out your websites. I am in love with your art and I am divinely inspired by your statement “the more you create, the more you become the Creator.”
Although I have been creating through my teaching and writing, generally I have neglected my right brain for most of my adult life. You clearly have a gift and a connection with Source Energy. I look forward to exploring your world.
Namaste,
