New paintings in the form of three abstract expressionist paintings were done yesterday on my back porch, on acrylic paper. I have plans to make one into bookmarks so that one will be in print only other than the bookmarks. The other two are for sale. As I was painting these, I had many thoughts …
YOU Can Be An Art Collector!
I noticed there is this stigma I did not existed because I was wrapped up in my own world as an Artist. I get the strong impression most people think that they cannot be Art Collectors unless they are rich, or have a fancy home. None of that is true! Art is a courageous purchase, …
Painting: Whitespace
This painting was inspired by a random photo I saw of an image frame next to a gradient image. I changed the colors and painted with oil pastels. As I was painting, it felt like a frequency like you see in music..waves that go up..and I can't stand straight lines, so when I came time …
Painting; Muse
I am learning once more that painting in general...every stroke matters. When I first started, I read Nancy Hillis blog. She said that for an exercise make six strokes on a piece of paper. She said nobody will do what you do, that alone makes it different. I reminded myself of that today when I …
Be An Encouragement To Someone Today
I write this post because of something that happened to me. I am on Instagram, and do not have hardly any engagement on there with my art. I don't spend much time there because even when I follow all the dumb rules of marketing, I still don't get my work known. I use the account …
The Great Expression
I have been watching two documentaries in recent days, and both of them spoke to me deeply. The first one was about Van Gogh, and it was very sad. It opened up thoughts in me I wish I did not have, but always have had through the years. Van Gogh had some type of mental …
Painting: Breath of Life
I painted this on a weekend. The sun was shining bright, and I opened the windows in late fall, and listened to my Indie song folder and let go. I started in the middle painting orange, and moved across and down. I wanted an abundance of colors and a strong flow of positivity. I call …
Painting: Seeing Clearly
15x20 acrylic on flat canvas, abstract expressionist blue and black I did a cloud and blue backdrop, then found it was not enough for me, so I started adding depth with black and yellow, and it has almost an arial view-like essence of a sky so I call it Seeing Clearly because even though the …
Painting: Blurring the Lines
16x20 flat canvas, acrylic. Post Minimalism original painting My shot at Geometrics, turned into "messy" geometrics and I can not be more proud. I did this in mid 2019, and was so thrilled and learned a lot. I started off with sketch lines, I ended up leaving on the canvas, and then tried using other …
Painting: Everywhere
I painted this summer of 2019. I had been listening to Susie Suh's song: Everywhere. The backdrop on the video, was a photo of a blurred bunch of trees. I could not mimic that because I don't do landscapes so it ended up being something else with movement, the yellow adds dimension and light, great …
