Sometimes I break out of my creative shell and do more abstract art that is free flowing and sometimes I still feel just as satisfied coloring within the lines or in this case – boxes. That is the case this week with the series of four paintings that I just finished that are already hanging at Venue in Ballard. They are a continuation of my Daily Mediation series that are simple 12″ x 12″ squares. Working quickly with layers of acrylic paint, sanding, rubbing, glazes with warm or cool colors – I am happiest when I am creating the colors in paintings like this. It’s when I am working like this and seeing magic happen under my paintbrush, I am reminded why I simply can’t take a desk job for 40 hours a week. There is such pleasure when I see something become what I see in my head.
I suppose parents have that feeling often when they see their children become something. I don’t know, I’m not a parent. But I know that I understand just a tiny bit of the pride that comes from making something and sending it off into the world.
My art goes off to live a life of its own without me in someone’s condo, office, house, loft, houseboat, apartment, classroom, etc. And all I can think is that these words like “Dream Grow” are also benefiting me as I become a better artist, a more prolific artist, a more well-known artist. There is nothing else more satisfying right now. To purchase, visit One Heart Studio’s website.
