Slippin Into Darkness

12″ x 12″ Acrylic on canvas

Yeah, this is kind of weird, or at least different for me. I don’t do simple very often, but I felt this one needed no fluff, no pomp, it’s simply “Slippin Into Darkness”.

The 12″ x 12″ canvas was home to another painting that didn’t make the cut, so I spray painted over it with black, leaving some fun texture from the previous tenant! The rest of the painting was leftover watered down acrylic paint from a pour, the red and green circles are there, just because. 💚❤

“Slippin Into Darkness” is a great song by War that I assume most people have heard before? If you have time to watch the video below, check out the fantastic fashions and funky dancing from the good ol 70’s show Soul Train! Which by the way, was cranked up on my TV every Saturday afternoon during said time! 😉😎🕺💃

    I like the painting too. Reminds me of those deep-sea fish that glow in the dark.

      Thanks, Max! I know the Chick Corea song Spain, but I will have to look up Romantic Warrior! You sure know a lot of obscure music, I love checking out new/old stuff!

    Always Soul Train for me, hated American Bandstand. Years later my older brother became infatuated with USA’s Dancin’ on Air

      Oh, but I did watch AB also, it was on first, but I really looked forward to Soul Train, way better music and dance! Oh, and later it was all about Solid Gold!😁😂

    There’s a power within the simplicity that evokes a very careful look I think! Not all simplistic works work that well, certainly a lot of mine don’t, lol! Love the creative re-use reminder, and of course, grew up listening to War & watching any dance show I could get on our late 50s early 60s TV set back then ♥️ Going back to your painting, Tiffany – I keep seeing a mingling of animal paw prints and kisses – what a combo! 😊 💕

      Thanks a bunch, Margaret! Yes, I have always liked bright colors against a black background, it’s very dramatic, although more difficult to photograph without glare!😉

    It reminds me of the deep sea and the brightness that the creatures made that God created. It is so beautiful Tiffany. You are so talented. I watched that show too, one did have to know how to get her funky moves on. I loved the talent on the show. Great stuff all around talented Tiffany. Love you sweetie!!
