This painting was a happy accident! Well, maybe not the painting, but the total effect.
I purchased some art supplies online and was very surprised (and maybe dismayed) to see that two sizes of canvases we actually 3" deep! How did that happen? I thought about returning them, but after calculating the return shipping, I realized that would not work.
So what to do? They seemed so in-your-face, not the right canvas for a delicate rose.
I decided abstract was the way to go.
I wanted lots of texture, but still need contract in the texture.
Yes, it can go on the wall.....but why? I love it sitting on a shelf, pretending to be a sculpture.
And guess what! A manufacturer loved it too, so it is licensed and may be appearing in a department store near you soon, pretending to be a pillow or maybe a duvet.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

"Art and music are to my soul, as food and water are to my body. I believe that they are two of God's most precious gifts to His children. As the author and giver of creativity, through these gifts, He has given us a portion of Himself. He created the very first canvas, magnificently painted it, and brought it to life" I am a full time artist, dividing my time between painting and teaching in my Colorado studio. Having painted on most every surface imaginable, at this time I work primarily on canvas, board, and paper. Though my style remains quite diverse, I believe I have the heart of an Abstract Expressionist, or even more accurately, an Action Expressionist, as I am most definitely an "action painter". Each painting is a journey , dictated by primarily by my current thoughts and emotions, be they happy, sad, peaceful or frenzied.It is a mysterious relationship, and is thrilling when the painting finally reveals itself, and our private journey becomes a story to share.
