Blue Ridge Parkway, Two New Florals, and Looking for the Light...

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist
Please check out my latest Youtube! I am so pleased that I can add music again. I think they are much better that way.

I have been going through my portfolio to show my florals. Today I thought I would show two brand new ones that are part of my series, Suggestions. These are paintings that I am doing based on an Abstract Expressionist surface. When I see a shape I go with it and develop a colorful, abstract painting.



A Vase of Color Original Acrylic Painting NFS

A Vase of color is another sensuous, colorful painting from my series,
Suggestions. I am starting with an abstract expressionist surface and then looking for forms that appear in the paint. This time I saw a rounded shape at the bottom so I turned the painting into a soft focus floral. I am very pleased with the flowing, circular motion in this one





Petal Play is another sensuous, colorful painting from my series,
Suggestions. I am starting with an abstract expressionist surface and then looking for forms that appear in the paint. This time I saw two large flowers in the position that I have them in the painting. They look like a cross between a petunia and morning glory. I am very pleased with the color in this one.




Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

It has been quite cloudy lately so the light in my studio is not what I want it to be. As I have mentioned before, when it is very dark outside the warm colors are hard to see so I end up with stronger warms than I want. I sure do have to look for the light to work.

I remember reading about Pierre Bonnard when he was instructing a child he thought had talent. He remarked that they had to work before the good light was gone.

When you work with a zillion colors light is extremely important. This is not a problem for my naturalist husband who doesn't mind getting up in the middle of the night to catch the owls for bird counts. The stereotype of the bird watcher is completely false. They are rugged people that walk up and down mountains in brutal weather for accurate records.


I think I will quit gripping about the light and get to work. My studio is very comfortable.
