THANK YOU!!

I feel as if I could just step right into this one, so inviting.  It's a change in a different direction for me. I can't necessarily say that I was in my comfort zone, yet I did have fun. Might look easier than it was.  I'm experimenting with using markers for line work on acrylic paintings. The markers are acrylic as well, so don't have to worry about them fading in time. The emphasize this month still being working with mostly yellow. One thing I've learned this month is that mostly doesn't necessarily mean a lot, especially when working with an intense color.

Enjoy!!

"Made for You" Original Abstract Painting and a few changes....

Made For You

Acrylic on 40" x 48" x 1.5"

Commission Sold

I haven't posted in several weeks, but it isn't because I haven't been painting. This is one of three large 40" x 48" paintings that I have been working on for a local commission.  I was able to visit this home to get a feel for and given color swatches for ideas. It turned out to be a beautiful piece that fit perfectly into the room. I loved working on this and such a joy that it meant so much to the owner.  I have also been thinking a lot about wanting and actually needing to make some changes with my work.  Not a bad thing. It's actually inspiring to be thinking about these things. I've been feeling this for awhile but just not knowing exactly what I want to do. The ideas have been coming and I've have written many of them down in order to go back to them.  Two of the bigger goals (changes) are with my approach to painting and secondly with presentation.

I began in 2008 painting floral paintings with transparent watercolors that were very realistic.  Amazing to go back and look at these. They were the beginning of the process and this journey. At the time, I was only playing around with the abstracts.  In time the abstracts were more me and won out...and there I've been ever since.  I've learned SO MUCH about painting and selling as an independent artist. Presently, I've been feeling as if I need to artistically challenge myself more and move on for new growth. To do this I feel I need to concentrate more time with each painting(s), playing,exploring and bringing to completion a series.  So, this is what I'm going to be doing beginning this spring and through the summer.  I'll continue to work on other projects as they come along.

The second change is with my website, this blog and my approaches to selling. Presently, I have a large body of work available for sale on my website, Etsy store and with Zatista.  I will be working on a separate website from the one that I presently have with a blog. I will announce those changes on here so as to redirect.  

For now, my time spent on the internet when not painting will be to set up these new changes.  I will continue to show glimpses here, there and on instagram.

making the switch...

JUNCTURE

At a loss for words as I just got through painting.  Not this one, but another canvas.  It's kinda like answering the phone while painting and I'm fumbling through trying to find words, quite embarrassing!  I was raised bilingual and would have to go through this transition time of finding either words in English or Spanish to speak, depending which culture I was living in.  It is like that too when I am painting.  I'll have to admit though, it is much easier making the switch back to the left brain side of thinking than it is getting into the right creative side.  But once there, it is wonderful!!

Night Scene....  that is what I see...you can make what ever you want to out of this painting and that is the wonderful thing about abstracts!  You the viewer have the opportunity to use your imagination to create your own scene. I might add that I would also consider this a landscape abstract with buildings.  Do you see it?  Love to hear your comments!
