Color Flow

Color Flow

12 x 12 Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

Its a snowy day out today so it was a good day to experiment with color and techniques.  This brings to my mind an image yet I haven't yet placed what it is it reminds me of. Possibly fireworks; possibly the way glazes flow together when fired in the kiln. Once I figure it out, this may be retitled.  While the technique didn't turn out quite like I expected, it was a fun painting and perfect for this snowy day. Thanks for looking.

This painting started out as an experiment in techniques. Often when I haven't painted in a while, that's what gets me going again.  I love the combination of magenta, turquoise and red.  When I stood back and looked at this, I felt like I was seeing a river running through the bottom and could imagine the magenta and turquoise as the steam coming from it.  Thanks for looking.

This was painted as part of the 365 challenge even though I haven't been posting them lately.  I let life get in the way of art!  I love the calm peaceful feel and colors of this painting.  The colors were chosen by request of an upcoming commission.  Still working on painting ideas but since they wanted something calm and soothing, this might be a good study for that piece.  Thanks for looking.

Day 16 of the 365 art challenge!  For some reason, I've been thinking of doors lately.  With the blues and browns which are one of my favorite color combinations, I find this a very restful painting.  Thanks for looking.

Those that know me know that ballet was my first love!    There's so much grace, beauty and strength in ballet.  While I have done some ballet drawings, I haven't yet attempted to paint the grace of it.  You may see a series of ballet related paintings as that's something I've had in mind for quite some time.
