There is always a feeling of indulgence when I just let go and put the colors down that make me feel right. I am currently focusing on bright or “happy” colors (I think that is used in a detrimental way by some but to me it is a serious compliment) but I always have because I really hate being sad and then there is the reality of you only paint what you paint. We don’t have a ton of leeway on what our art is! Give me a sunny day, a bright optimistic day and I will be there. All my new abstracts are focused on color and how color can dictate more than we think it can.

This piece was in a series of pieces just focusing on things that make me feel optimistic and happy and it started out as umbrellas then veered into candy and towels and in its abstracted way it let me seriously indulge. It is thickly applies paint that photographs rugged because the peaks of the paint casts shadows, but in person it has a softer feel.

The background on this piece is more of a true white than yellow. It is picking up the yellow from the spot lights.
