The warm weather is here in New England and it reminds me of summer vacations and running around with my (younger) kids in the park. 

 This painting has many surprises and beautiful marks that come up when you are just exploring and experimenting. The implied movement of round red balls amongst the grass green and sandy white passages reminds me of kids running and playing ball on a bright sunny day.
Abstract marks are so mesmerizing!!!

Original colorful, abstract painting. I thought this painting looked like waterlilies abstracted however, a friend saw this and said, "I don't see waterlilies, but i do think you were having a party in your head when you did it!!"So i decided to use her words as the title of this painting. I think maybe the party is a celebration with flowers, balloons and streamers. #abstractpainting, #originalart, #artforsale.

Abstract art is " art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colors, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect." Wassily Kandinsky.

This abstract painting can also be appreciated in terms of all the individual, visual elements of art: color, shape, line, texture, space, value, etc. It uses colors and textures to their best visual strength to create a sound composition from these elements.

Layers, layers, and more layers, that’s what this painting is all about.  Seeing how one covers the next and then revealing what’s underneath is fascinating.  I have recently been adding the use of collage, stencils , text and cut paper to the mix.  The  result is more nuance, depth, and interest.  Using the positive or negative of the stencil and then  adding paint to blur or soften the image gives it a nice richness and a sense of history.
