Your Uncapped Creativity...
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action; and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. You must keep that channel open. It is not for you to determine how good it is, nor how valuable. Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is for you to keep it yours, clearly and directly." ----the great dancer, Martha Graham
Vickie. I love these new paintings. Heaven is truly reflected in them: so bright, so colorful, so full of life.
ReplyDeleteVickie, This painting is absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you both for these comments. This type of painting is very playful, which is one of the reasons the result is so appealing. It begins with a wash of colors. When this layer dries, you then define shapes, whatever you see or imagine, by adding more color around the shapes. The results are always surprising and fresh.
