I don't always know what the final painting will look like because I immerse myself in expressing what is trying to come through me. I consider myself just a channel used by outside forces that need to offer something to people who need it in order for them to feel good. I think this painting is inspired by my amusement of how many thoughts a person can have all at the same time about different things and yet there is something that connects them all...Interesting. What's also interesting about this painting is that I had started painting something completely different but I have no idea what it was now, and then I had the feeling that I have to do something completely different to the painting using the previous layer as a base. Very strange. That doesn't happen often...maybe is all those thoughts that took over...
This painting has been exhibited, moved a few times to various locations, and it is in excellent condition. I stretched my own linen or canvas on the stretcher bars and built the base. The painting is done in oils and it is on Canvas.
Although I have taken photographs during the day, it is impossible to have the colors come true as they are. In reality, they are much more vibrant. It is as if they have their own life since the shapes and color combination create so much movement. The color combination is very peaceful and serene and has a calm yet energetic effect on the viewer.
All my paintings change very much by the surrounding light and objects. It would look great with an accent light above or below the painting.
The frame around the painting is hand made and it was made just to give more of a finished look as it was being exhibited at a show. A more appropriate frame would look great.
Wonderful for any residential and commercial environment. less
