The story behind the painting:
I'm presently working in a more intuitive fashion with this next series of abstract paintings. Trying different techniques to see what comes out of me. To hold nothing back and relax, as the old saying goes, "Let it all hang out, Baby". This time, saying no to that critical voice before it speaks up and stirs the pot. This experimental process stops me from coming to the blank canvas with a preconceived idea, but rather come in an experimental mode of right brain thinking and be surprised by the results. Naturally, some simple editing near the end is necessary, but not at the beginning of the process or during the middle. Just a little adding of more colors here and there, and then STOP!
I've noticed the process of painting goes a little faster and frees me creatively in great strides more than ever before. I've been technically trained in art, so it's been hard for me to put that left brain training aside and just paint intuitively.
Back to this painting, " Our Planet Earth". This one took some time to make and plenty of paint. I thought I would step out of my boundaries with color and add color choices I normally wouldn't, such as olive. I'm just not an olive person, the color or the food. I have always been fascinated by the images NASA would take from their telescopes and this painting reminds me of those images. How small it make me feel when I see photos of Earth and knowing the universe is so vast... The details of this painting are so neat and I'm not sure the photographs will show them off.

About the Artist:
I studied Fine Arts at Peace College in Raleigh, NC and Ringling College of Art and Design, Sarasota, FL.
I have successfully sold my paintings since 2004 on different online auction venues: eBay, ArtByUs, and now listed on Etsy.
As an artist, I consider myself a color expressionist. I am madly in love with color ever since my first box of 62 crayola crayons given to me by my Dad. I still marvel at what color can do in our lives and I love it still amazes me.
My art is not only about color, but the movement of the paint and textures that can move us.
I was raised in Asheville, NC and blessed to presently being living in this beautiful, full of creativity, artsy town! I work out of a studio where I live, but soon may have to move into a larger studio. I paint with acrylics and oils.
