This week the panels arrived for the huge triptych that I am began this week! It is a commission piece consisting of two massive 8' x 3 1/2' x 2" panels and one 8'2" x 4' x 2" panel.
Preparing the panels and materials took some time as I like to paint all of the edges white as it creates an added crispness and snap to the impressionistic color palette that I am utilizing. The color pallet, imagery and feel represent my newest series entitled 'Transcendence." Bursting with pure color and fluidity, its abstracted imagery creates an immediate feeling of vibrancy and life in which I hope to transcend the viewer's soul in that moment. A moment of beauty...a moment of respite. As we have all learned this year, if we weren't aware of the fact already, life can be challenging and moments of joy, tranquility, and peaceful reflection can be hard to find. My own fight with breast cancer this year combined with all of the Covid 19 limitations left me feeling sad, lonely, and scared as hell. I've learned that hard times make the craving and appreciation for love, beauty, and joy all the more needed and nourishing. Meditative moments are as oxygen to the soul. What we all need now is to be lifted up and delighted out of our senses! Light after the darkness. Light to lift the darkness. That is what I seek to achieve with my artistic expression. Please join me on my painting journey. Consider yourself hugged and remember that you are never alone. xo
