“Ripples In The Sky”
12” x 12”
Acrylic
$350
Using colour, movement, light, shape, and form, I want people to be drawn into peace, nature and emotion. My goal is to bring my paintings to life. To feel as if they are singing and dancing through the elements. I want to encourage the art of noticing little things in nature and to hold gratitude for them. The sun on some moss, the light through tree branches, and the shape of a leaf as it moves in the breeze. These are just a few examples of how prioritizing the beauty in life can help us embrace the ugly and carry it forward in a healthy way.
My paintings come together with mostly intuition. I go through my references and pick which one speaks to me in the moment, and then work loosely from it with my skills and intuitive mind working in unison. Acrylic paint allows me to move quickly enough so that it gives me breathing room to work with my flow state.
When I dip my brush into the paint, I don't overmix.
Sometimes the paint will still be wet on the surface, and my brush will combine wet on wet to create new colours with a soft gradient change. I'm never intending to be accurate, I find all of the elements of the subject I love, and highlight them in an exaggerated
