this work was my second attempt at 'Desert and Sky' - it did not work as I wanted it to but the light tan contrasted with the dark Prussian blue works I think in and of itself - sometimes when I am trying something and it does not work as I wanted it to - something else happens and the overall result just works - this is such a painting - I think you have to allow a painting the freedom to develop as it wants and not fight it to be something it is not or something you want it to be - as artists perhaps we often want to have mastery and control over the brush and the paint and make it do and go at our will and command - but this closed mental state I think has ruined a lot of otherwise potentially fine works - had I forced it I would have ruined this painting - to open your mind to what is present on the canvas - and accept it - in hindsight often reveals the rough gems that can exist if you let them ...
Glenn Michael Morley is a Canadian painter and photographer who discovered his passion for art unexpectedly. Born in Canada, he earned a degree in mathematics and history at the University of Toronto, before working as a product development engineer. Yet despite this professional background, Glenn always appreciated the work of the Impressionists, especially Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Camille Pissarro, as well as artists like Louis David and Raoul Dufy.
It was in Lowell, Massachusetts, in the United States, that Glenn decided to take up painting. One very cold day, he came across van Gogh's Gear art store, run by artist Steve Syverson. Having no background in oil painting, he asked shop regulars for recommendations and left with enough paint, an easel, canvases and brushes to begin painting. He then lived in an old industrial building converted into a condominium, with 28-foot-high ceilings and a large window overlooking the city's man-made canal. The soft and unique light of this place inspired Glenn to create much of his work, which is often imbued with the ambiance of this place.
The first work he did, "Mother of Pearl", was created simply by letting inspiration guide colors. Glenn never took painting lessons because he felt the technique could too often stifle creativity and emotions. He wanted to focus on color and let his creativity run free, not trying to imitate a past style or create something with a specific meaning or meaning. For him, the important thing was to create colors and to be guided by the rhythm and the movement of his arms.
Today, Glenn Michael Morley is an accomplished artist, whose work is infused with his passion for color and creativity. He believes that location and environment have an impact on his work, as they influence his mood and emotions, which are then reflected in his painting.
