Cedar Lee Paints Solar Radiance

This painting is entitled Solar Radiance. You can find more info about me and my art at my website, www.ArtByCedar.com

The Cosmic Dance series embodies the concept of balance in the universeyin and yang. Sun and moon, day and night, heaven and earth, fire and water, hot and cold. I keep coming back to the recurring image of the rising sun burning away the darkness of night, the threshold between today and tomorrow.

The sun and the moon can be thought of as allegorical characters that conjure thoughts of epic myths and creation stories. Swirling colors dance across the vastness of the sky.

what brand of oils do you use? 

[RadicalEel]

@KofykatKashyap I think when I painted this I was using (mostly) Winsor Newton Artisan water-mixable oils. But now I've mostly phased out what I have left of those, and now I use Holbein's Duo Aqua, which are a higher grade and a bit nice to work with, in my opinion. I usually mix some regular oils in with my water-mixables as well. I'm not too strict when it comes to mixing different brands with each other.

Excellent Work Cedar!! just a small question:Did you buy a ready made easel or you did custom made it from a carpenter? Is your idea came from your client or you just made you work liked to ur client?

[RadicalEel]

@dyerome0803 My easel is store-bought. I've had the same one for many years! I think it cost about $200 from an art supply store. All my artwork is made with my own inspiration, and generally not based on requests from clients...although I have occasionally done commissioned work in the past. Hope that answers your questions!

I just found you, your work is really great. I wish I was 1/100 as good, but I enjoy what I do create

Oh.. Sorry but the thing I noticed was that your studio is really clean. Why can't mine be more like that D:
