My newest painting is called, Capture The Moon. It is an abstract in a palette of neon orange, blues, grays, white and yellow. Inspired by well, the moon in its phases…and specifically the moon in Spring. Not gonna lie, this Chicago winter is making me dream/sleep/paint Spring in all her glory! Wanted a fresh color palette that was invigorating.
Two resolutions I am making for my Art this year are to do a 365 day project and to keep a daily art journal. My 365 project is to draw a sketch a day. No boundaries here…whatever I want to draw! And if paint, multi media or pastels get involved then so be it and all the better! This project is an exercise in sustaining a daily art habit as well as working on technique and building a portfolio of ideas to draw from-pun intended;)
Day One: The tree outside my window on this winter wonderland of a New Years Day in Chicago.
I have been longing to return to regular journaling for a while now. When I saw this beauty at Anthropologie…I knew I had to have her!
New Year, new beautiful journal to fill! This one will be mostly for art related things but art and life are all kind of rolled up in one for me anyways. Here’s to an inspiring and prolific year of art and expression-whatever that may be for you! What are your resolutions/projects/dreams for 2014?
I am thrilled that one of my abstracts, “Explorer” just sold and will be traveling to the green pastures of Ireland. It is the homeland of my ancestors, and while I’ve yet to go there myself, I am so excited that a painting of mine will! Explorer is 20 x 20, acrylic on canvas.
Newest painting is a neon inspired still life of one of my favorite flowers ever…Ranunculus! It is 16 x 20 on canvas board and incorporates some ikat pattern on stripes…another fave!
