Avola, Modern Original Abstract Painting

'Avola'

Acrylic on 24" x 24" x 1.5" gallery canvas

This is one of the very latest of six paintings that I just recently completed for a show here in Springfield.  To this we added four older paintings for a total of ten which we hung this week for Dr. Carl Price at the  Center for Plastic Surgery.  This painting  has layers of texture and metallic coppers which add a richness that unfortunately does not show up in the photo.  

So... what's next?  Well....lately I have been contemplating beginning a new series of paintings that would be titled "Songs of Praise".   We'll see where this goes?!......

Just off the easel...and I've got another one started!  This one hung on my studio wall nearly completed as I contemplated how to finish it.   Or maybe I should say... until I was willing and ready to take a risk.    I love it now.... hope you do to!  Believe!!!

I usually like to leave the interpreting of my abstracts to the viewer, allowing a personal response.  This painting was completed in several more sessions than I ordinarily take.  In the first phase of it I saw a tree beginning to emerge and it was at this point that I felt it was completed.  Yet... the more I looked at it  I just wasn't totally satisfied.  It was at the point of needing to take a risk that would either make it or it would  become something else.  Either way... you've got to believe it will work and take the plunge.

That was when I went back into the painting with layering and before I knew it I was into the circles.

Life is always in a state of growing.  Sometimes there are stages of what seem like no growth, but those are needed into for the new growth to occur.  Being an artist is a lot like that as well.  It can be frustrating when you hit those times where it feels like nothing is happening.  I was there recently.  In fact, I felt like   I had lost my creativity and was finished with painting.  I am encouraged from what I hear from this painting.  It speaks to me about being patient, listening, abiding and believing that the Creator of creativity is always at work.  This creativity like a circle has no end.
