An Abstract New Years Eve

A new year will soon be here and it gives me pause to reflect. What can I let go of that no longer serves me? What can I reach for that once seemed impossible? Who will I keep close? What lessons and experiences are out there for all of us? Love more, accept myself and others and really live each day in gratitude are a few of my resolutions for 2019.
I will be promoting my memoir Into the Light and talking about that process here. As I navigate into unknown waters I feel a little like this abstract painting- emotional, fully present and with a sense of anticipation. Lots of freedom and flexibility to interpret meaning and value. 
I want to thank all of my friends and family, art patrons, followers and readers of my blog, FB art page, and Instagram for a wonderful year. I appreciate your looking and all of your comments. What a wonderful way to make this huge world intimate; I'm so grateful to be a part of it. Happy New Year to you all!

Spring Melt

A smaller abstract inspired by another painting. When each painting takes me to the next without undue angst I know I'm in the zone!

Transform

I've been down with seasonal allergies which turned into asthma, then bronchitis.  I'm on antibiotics now and finally got in the studio for the first time in days  Starting to feel like myself again! I've been thinking about the challenge from the Daily Paintworks, and decided to use this abstract oil painting as the patterned surface. Check back tomorrow and see how it came out!

Abstraction in Providence

Went up to Rhode Island College's Bannister Gallery last night to see the show "Abstraction in Providence". This painting by Lloyd Martin held my attention for some time. From the catalog, " Lloyd Martin employs strategies whose narrative is derived from a real world reference that considers a compositional blueprint as an underpinning. He eloquently expresses a cadence that is rhythmic, mathematical, and ordered in context."
