"Taming Da Waters"
To enlarge the images simply click on them....
Copyright 2008 Turtel Onli, oils, 24" X 36" is a recent Rhythmistic masterpiece from Onli. It shows an angel taking a moment to stabilize a floating basket of fruits. It symbolizes the spiritual connection in receiving nutrition on a variety of levels through troubled times. The choppy waters and ominous sky provides a haunting presence contrasted with the assured calm on the angel's face along with the placement of her hands. She is strong, focused, and relaxed in her sense of duty to tame the waters.
In every Rhythmistic masterpiece lies an abstracted statement. Notice how the extended treatment of the waters produces a lovely and calming pattern of abstracted hues and textures.
This work would make a great gift for you, your office, or your place of worship.

"Place Setting"
Copyright 2008 Turtel Onli , 24"X36", oils on canvas board 2008, is a new Rhythmistic oil painting by Turtel Onli. What do you think of the use of naturally occuring metaphors, symmetry, rhythm, and values in how Onli constructed this painting? It captures the excitement of a woman having a positive and warm moment in the preparation of a set of flowers. Is this symbolic of the need to put one's life in order? Clearly a positive experience. Interested collectors should email Onli at onli@sbcglobal.net to make arrangements.
