With Christmas rapidly approaching, I am knee deep in commission work and order fulfillment of art prints! But 2016 has been calling to me with an urge to create new pieces. I have a strong desire to return to abstract art for awhile and let my color monkey run free! Why wait? There is too much potential and the possibilities are endless….

Colorful Zebra
Mixed Media Art

2015
.
Are you afraid of color? We recently had a dinner party and one of our guests exclaimed, “I love your house. It’s so bold and full of color. I wish I was brave enough to decorate this way!” That really struck me as odd….Do you decorate your house for “other” people? I certainly do not. I surround myself with things I like to feel and see on a daily basis. When I get up in the morning, the colors I like welcome me into my kitchen. I look at the miniature paintings that are perched above my sink and I smile. Moving into the living room, I am embraced by rich deep red carpets that caress my feet. I sit at my computer and enjoy the purple and yellow painting my Mother In Law painted right in front of me. I see hearts and flowers and portraits of my animals. They are all bursting with color and life!
Muted earth tones and pastels just aren’t my style. If they aren’t yours either, but you still decorate that way, you have to ask yourself why? So that the occasional house guest doesn’t ask too many questions or even worse…..judge you? Art is personal and I believe you should surround yourself with what YOU like. Feed your own soul! They can find their sustenance elsewhere…

This work offers a much different color palette than my collectors and fans are accustomed to. Most of my work incorporates blues, aquas and reds. With Spring just around the corner, I wanted to capture a fresh feeling in this art painting. Warmth in the yellows and reds for the sun and greens for all of the new growth and life. There is a flow in the paint that lifts the soul upwards and a lightness in spirit is left. I hope you enjoy this abstract titled “Lightness of Being. You can learn more here:

Don’t be afraid. It’s only color. I have to smile really big whenever I sell one of my bold mega colorful paintings. It lets me know that someone out there has the assertiveness to go with a piece that yells from the walls, “Look at me!!!” It is even more satisfying when it is an abstract. Abstracts make most people uncomfortable. Some will say that they just do not understand abstract art. There is good news! You do not have to. You just have to like it and have the courage to allow yourself to enjoy it. I do not understand how an opal is formed, but I know it’s beautiful. I do not understand how a beetle has such iridescence in it’s shell, but I know it is stunning. I do not understand how the human eye has all of those amazing patterns, but enjoy looking at them. A lot of people like familiarity and stick to representational artwork. But what so many do not realize is that the world has far more abstract imagery. It just takes a closer look. Have no fear!

I am a certified color junkie. Ever since I can remember colors were never bright enough for me. There were never enough in my environment to satisfy me. The world was boring and I’ve always wanted more. It’s why you just don’t see muted pastels in my art (or maybe you do). I use the brightest and most vibrant colors I can find and mix, but you may not see all of them. And now there may be a scientific explanation for my extreme color cravings. An unknown number of women may perceive millions of colors invisible to the rest of us. These women have four cones in their eye for detecting colors. The vast majority of people only have three. I am not a scientist, so I will just post a link (some text in this blog is referenced from this article):

Scientists have dubbed these people tetrachromats. An average human can perceive a million different colors. But the tetrachromats see a hundred million colors, with each familiar hue fracturing into a hundred more subtle shades for which there are no names, no paint swatches. Dr. Gabriele Jordan is one scientist who has been studying this phenomenon for years. She estimates tetrachromats make up as many as 12 percent of women, but only a small percentage of these women actually use that fourth cone.
It is suspected that the natural world may not have enough variation in color for the brain to learn to use a fourth cone in those who have them. Tetrachromats might never need to draw on their full capacity. They may be trapped in a world tailored to those with three cones. Perhaps if these women regularly visited a lab where they had to learn to tell extremely subtle shades apart, they would awaken in themselves the latent abilities of their fourth cone. Then they could begin to see things they had never tried to see before, a kaleidoscope of colors beyond our imagining.
A lab or my studio?
