Amethyst Dreams

365/2013 No.6

11 x 14 Acrylic on Canvas Panel

I really have no idea why I seem to be on a purple kick at the moment other than Amethyst is my birthstone. When I want to paint yet don't have something specific in mind, I automatically paint my type of abstracts. Originally these started out as background paintings but so many of them turned out so well that they became my abstracts. I just love the various shades of purple you can achieve. This actually started out with dark blue and had pink added to achieve the purple effect. Thanks for looking.

About Me

My original love was the performing arts. I grew up dancing, and it was my dream to be a professional ballet dancer. That was not to be so I turned to other forms of creativity. It's only been within the past few years that I discovered painting. I'd forgotten how much I loved drawing as a child. Maybe this is a passion re-awakened! I'm a self-taught artist and always looking to learn new techniques. One of the things I've always classified myself as is a "perpetual student". I love learning, and I love experimenting with new techniques. For me, this is one of the best parts of art; experiencing new things is more important to me than the finished piece. So you never know what I'll end up with. Hope you'll enjoy the experience too!
