Creative Vision VIII

Purple Passion….There used to be a red-violet heart shape that accidentally appeared in the process of painting. I ended up painting over it as I made many revisions to this piece. I reworked some areas several times, continuing in myefforts to achieve harmony, balance, and interest in the nuances of color and shape. This image looks different in different lighting. You can ask me for additional images. My passion for art has led me to explore abstract painting, collage and mixed media.  I have fun experimenting, playing with media, materials, and techniques. This intuitive exploration often leads to surprising outcomes. Unlike realistic art, abstract art is often not planned, although there is often an idea, a feeling or color harmony, shapes, or type of design that I have in mind. I like to use found materials and images in collage, and various tools for painting. When I create art I am sometimes lost in another world, happily painting, printmaking, or collaging. Art is therefore therapy. Creating provides joys and challenges I hope my paintings bring you joy,  contentment and lifts your spirit.
