Interesting to come across this painting, particularly given its title. Bruce Springsteen's album of the same title "Darkness On the Edge of Town" is my favorite album, ever. This watercolor by Mr. Morrison, though at first glance a seemingly simple painting, somehow obtains a quietly potent, powerful, and mysteriously suggestive presence, and is in my opinion very much worthy of the title that Springsteen gave his album decades ago. (Though there's very little that's quiet about the Springsteen album.) Anyway, good job Mr. Morrison.
I'm an artist from Tunnel Hill, Georgia (near Dalton, Georgia). You'll find plenty more about me simply by perusing my artist's blog and going to all the different places at this site (such as my "SIDEBARS" up in the top right hand corner). I hope you enjoy doing just that. But mostly I'd love for you to simply check out my paintings-- every last one of them! As a rule of thumb (albeit with certain exceptions), each "post" on this site shows one or more of my paintings; to check them all out, simply scroll down from one post (or painting) to the next, and each time you get down to the bottom of a page click "Older Posts" to go on to the next batch of paintings. Keep moving along this way until you've seen them all. And while you're at it, please leave a comment or two. Thanks for dropping by!
