This recent painting was done on paper using acrylics and mixed media. It is a fun and whimsical piece titled “Seize the Day.” As a very optimistic person, I am drawn to bright colors with a touch of whimsy.
As I continue my journey of painting and creating art, I find myself occasionally distracted by “thinking too much” about which direction I should be heading. But I keep trying to follow my heart and paint what comes naturally. I continue to be drawn to the geometrics and bright color. In this painting, which is done with both acrylics and mixed media, I try to let my hand free to draw an image on the painted background that is a loose geometric. Sometimes I agonize over which color I will paint where, but then I think many artists that don’t paint in a traditional, realistic manner, go through this same process.

As I continue with my geometric abstracts, many of my newer pieces of art are taking on a very minimalist look. This fun painting is done with acrylics and mixed media on bristol board. I’m having a lot of fun creating the paintings in this newest series.
I must admit that I am constantly drawn to paint black backgrounds, then work with fun bold color to finish the painting. But I am continually experiementing with other color combinations. I really like how this painting turned out and the colors on the red background.

For some reason I am always drawn to the combination of black and bright colors. I guess I love the stark contrasts and, of course, I always love bright and colorful. One of my current series of paintings seems to be reinvigorating my original style done in a whimsical manner, but with more of a geometric flair. It is a minimal, bold and colorful look.
This recent painting, a geometric abstract, is done with acrylics and mixed media. It is 19×24 inches on Bristol Board.

Just recently I discovered a great art site that is very pro-active for selling original artworks. The site is called ArtFinder and they have been around for quite some time. Not only can you continually add more works of art, but each artist has their own page.
As soon as anyone follows your work, you get a notification and that follower gets to see each and every time you add a new piece of art. This is fantastic news to artists all over the world. Even though ArtFinder is located in the UK, and most of the artists appear to be from the UK also, many US artists are starting to find their way to the site.
I’m very pleased to have been accepted to ArtFinder … be sure to check it out!
