Icicle, 24"x30", oil on canvas
To begin my blog, I thought it best to start at the beginning of the abstract story. Icicle was intended to be a landscape piece in the style of Thomas Kinkade for my brother-in-law. It was all going swimmingly until I realized that after years of painting landscapes, animals, barns and other musings of daily life, I had my fill. I turned the canvas on its side and began a color study which turned into the icicle. The freedom to experience the materials' colors and textures won me over. In this blog, I intend to share thoughts about mine and other's pieces in the hope of opening minds to the wonderful, boundless possibilities of art.
