Here's another painting that was born from the spontaneous flow of intuitive painting. It is my way of relaxing in front of the easel, usually after a more structured creation was completed. This painting was rendered with pure colors, straight from the tube and only mixed and blended while on the canvas.

Today's Quotation:  "Originality and the feeling of one's own dignity are achieved only through work and struggle."

Another creation from one of my astral journeys.  I think this is my natural habitat. These paintings are the most natural for me to paint and are created almost effortlessly. I enjoy the challenge of painting in a variety of styles and subject matter...and some with great difficulty.  Keeps me sharp and evolving as a painter. I'm told it isn't the wisest thing to do as an artist, though ... it is said it's better to be recognized with a certain style but I can't help it. I would go crazy and bored out of my mind...

Today's Quotation: "Our task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within ourselves that we have built against it."

Another beautiful background fabric 'find' to showcase this red pear. This painting was a bit complex and took several sessions to complete and  I am very happy with the result.

I'm curious. What do you see when you close your eyes and imagine you are looking into your head? When I close my eyes I see images like this painting...the universe...always out there in the heavens.  It's always been that way.

Now wouldn't this make an unusual and unforgettable surprise gift for your valentine? Candy is eaten, forgotten, and gone forever.  Flowers wither and die...and remind us where we are all headed.  Jewelry, oh well...that's always good I suppose, but often predictable and easy to lose.  A one of a kind creation,  viewed daily as a reminder of you,  is a lot more impressive...

This luscious plum is posed on a vibrant colorful fabric I was fortunate to unearth at a local fabric shop. I found a few great fabrics recently and will be choosing models from the market to place on them soon.

I really love this painting. To be fair to myself, it should be priced at least twice as much as I have it listed for at $595 and I am not shy at all about expressing this...but...the present economy is what it is...

Whew! That's all I can say.  I am so glad this ordeal is over. I didn't know what I was getting into when I chose this design but it was much more difficult than I would have imagined and feels like it took forever to complete. 

I began by painting everything but the butterfly and it's reflection. I was intimidated by those sections and very resistant. I kept losing my place and my eyes were playing tricks on me and tearing. There were times I wished there were fairies in my studio that would finish it during the night and surprise me with a fairy miracle in the morning...never happened, of course...but I wished anyway...

So that's the story of "Reflections Of A Red Butterfly"...

Today's Quotation:"The caterpiller does all the work, but the butterfly gets all the publicity."

This painting was created intuitively/spontaneously a while back. I began painting the black oval shape which is now the angel's face and the painting went from there, developing into the figure with wings...so I had this painting with a black oval face just sitting there for quite some time without a defined face. One day, feeling brave enough and determined to finish it, I took a deep breath and once again, cleared my mind as best as I could and let my intuition just take over, one stroke at a time. I am happy with the result.

This mystical seascape with the full moon appearing like a sentinel, was painted from my imagination. As most of my intuitive/spontaneous works go, I didn't have a subject matter in mind when I began. I put paints out I felt attracted to that day and began to paint from my spirit. At a certain point, I wasn't sure whether this piece would be a celestial scene or a seascape. The more I painted, the more it began looking like a seascape and I went from there. I am happy with the final outcome.

This piece is straight out of my imagination...I consider it 'Healing Art" ...Why, you ask??  How does it make you feel when you view it?  It is even more beautiful 'in person.'

"Reaching For The Light" is actually a 'paint-over' of a painting I began outdoors last autumn and decided I wasn't satisfied with when I brought it back to my studio. It was actually pretty terrible. I'd lost patience, was physically uncomfortable, tired, and just started slopping paint around, hoping for a miracle. I didn't get one...So, the painting sat there, annoying me for quite a while until I picked it up and worked it over. I am very happy with it now.  There is a bit of texture from the original painting underneath that adds to it's interest. 

Too bad we can't 'work over' some of the past episodes in our lives....oh well...
