This is an exercise in playing with color and contrast. Complimentary colors along with black and white drawing helped me achieve contrast and repetition along with harmony across both paintings.

Fresh flowers being a refreshing energy in spring.
This painting explores the lines of nature and the beauty of flowers in a vase, created in layers and interesting brush strokes. In an attempt to merge florals and abstraction this painting went through many variations.
I wanted the flowers to retain their organic shape, ethereal qualities and the painting to stay true to elements of abstraction like surface quality, texture, lines, marks, collage and mixed media paint.
This version keeps all those qualities intact. Do you agree? 

This painting is currently in the Rockport Art Assoc and Museum show exhibit will be in April 2022 titled "Jacki's Flowers" to honor our beloved Jacki Harrington, that left this earth this past December.

“Flowers, Wine and Fruit.” is a large abstract mixed media painting.
Colorful, collectable and contemporary, original still life painting on  paper direct from the artist. 

This painting focuses on the rich texture of patterns enveloped within a still life. Color and line relationships are explored through an arrangement of fruits, flowers and vessels.

The painting is abstract in nature with the shapes taking on a somewhat flattened appearance which renders them to be more like puzzle pieces with in a whole. This is another theme within my work that I continue to explore. The colors are vibrant and the artwork contains visible brushwork and texture.

Beautiful mixed media floral abstract still life. Although now almost completely abstracted the idea came from Van Gogh's sunflower paintings. It includes lots of mixed media textures, lines, drips, splashes and mark making.

This painting is a small study for a larger painting. Hope you guessed Andy is Andy Warhol. 

"Warhol’s 1964 series Flowers, however, is a refreshing and surprising departure from the artists’ initial themes of pop culture and commercialism, and every spring, critics are reminded of the influence that his nature-focused work continues to have on the art world."

Continuing my current passion of painting contemporary flowers with abstraction. The painting starts with a mark – simple and straightforward. But then there is another and another, a splotch of color and some scraping. Parts of it are subtle and minimal, while others are bold, colorful and expansive.
--> -->The intention is to create a painting charged with emotional energy, movement, bold color and texture.I am happy to say that i mentioned to achieve those goals in this painting. My inspiration for this style of work is Joan Mitchell
