Nature inspired abstraction

Inspired by my neighborhood walk to revisit abstracts again...I feel so tranquil when I breathe in my gorgeous surroundings. I need to listen to my inner whispers....beginning again.

Feeling there needs to be a series of these, in a large format (this one is 14"x14" and I find myself wanting to make it larger). I'd love some feedback from you, so please do chime in!

Hope you have wonderful Valentine's Day! We will most likely have a quiet dinner at home as to avoid the busy, noisy restaurants. Trying to get my hubby to fix crab legs, which I haven't had in forever! I figured that since I do the majority of the cooking, that I should get that day off. ;) :D

Some catching up to do

It's been a while since I last posted. There's been some issues with health (mine and my son's) that we've been trying to get a handle on, so that's been consuming a lot of time/energy. I started back painting a couple of weeks ago and have been posting progress on my Facebook page, but haven't stopped by here. Now that I'm painting regularly again getting a new body of work ready to submit to some galleries, I'll be checking in more regularly. Got a haircut today.....my first one in two years!!!! Still in a bit of shock from going this short, but I've gotten good responses on it so far. :)

So without further ado, here's a bunch of pics so I can catch you up....

First of, I got a haircut today.....my first one in two years!!!! Still in a bit of shock from going this short, but I've gotten good responses on it so far. :) I've had many people tell me it was very artsy and funky, which was totally what I was going for! :D

Below are a bunch of pictures of the paintings I am currently working on in my home art studio....I took some pics as they progressed so you could see some of the steps in their creation. I now work only on intuition, so I don't plan these ahead of time. They come into being as each layer is added.

Like I said, lots to show ya and I'll be back with more later in the week. Until then, have a fabulous week!
