"Fall Bursts", 2010. 30" X 30" Acrylic on Canvas.
"The Black One", 2010. 30" X 30" Acrylic on Canvas.In the last two paintings I completed (seen above), I used a couple of new techniques that I was happy to discover. In "Fall Bursts", my initial goal was to present all the different shades of autumn within one piece. As I mapped out my design using a huge fallen leaf found down the street, I began to see more and more lines within each root. Three-ten color field panels turned into more than twenty.
In "The Black One", my process started from the edges of the canvas and circled around and inward. Usually, I find comfort in starting in the center and projecting planes of color outward. I love spectrums. :)
In the coming new year, I plan to expand my color palette. Currently, I'm working on an all-white painting. There will be tints of color, but I want to manipulate the tones and shades of the colors I mix. My inspiration is glistening snow. I want to capture the lusciousness of first fallen snow, piles of iridescent fluffy slush.
With the help of my dear friend, Kelliann Melanie (http://www.kmelanie.com/), I've realized a whole other entity into my art-making will be maintaining a consistent profile on every social networking site. Trying to keep a vast presence on the web will hopefully keep everyone advised on all my newest happenings. I'll be on twitter in the very near future (though, I still don't know exactly how it works) and I'll be working on putting together a luscious media kit to present to galleries and such in the hopes of generating feedback and exposure.
I hope everyone finds themselves safe, healthy, and inspired in the new year. Happy New Year!
