An Occasional Word from the Artist

This is the part where I get to write. It's probably obvious that I'm more about creating art than I am about writing. But people tell me that I should have a blog on my website.  And it is true that from time to time I like to write something. So we'll see how I do! 

It's Ornamental

I was all involved in creating this latest design even before someone pointed out to me that it looks like a snowflake design for the holidays. This one is wrapped on canvas, but I will soon be offering it also as a print on paper. I'm just all into the colors and the off-center arrangement, although Laurie says it looks like I forgot to center it. What do you think?

Feeling that Black Tones Design Urge Again

This was fun to create and sort of took me back to my beginnings when I created mostly black and white abstract paintings. The idea is updated here, using a silver grey background rather than the stark white.

Growing - Black on Silver Grey Abstract
Although admittedly totally abstract, I did originally think I was seeing some sort of plant life in this one - perhaps an unusual plant that might be found in the rain forest of Costa Rica or near a village in the remote reaches of the Amazon in Peru. Both are places I've lived that inspire me. But then I found out that, at first glance anyhow, some people were seeing some sort of bug or small animal. The whole concept of perception in art reminds me that we human beings can be looking at the same concept, event or thing but see totally different things. What do you see in it?

This is my first design of the month. I like the design and the texture. Laurie says she likes the excitement of the colors. Speaking of Laurie, I'm thinking of kicking her off my blog. Well maybe not kick her off exactly, but since I know she will continue "borrowing" my designs to create all sorts of fun customizable products using her favorites from my creations, I'm thinking maybe I'll just give her a separate blog of her own - somewhere else on this web site. That way I can keep posting my paintings, with my descriptions and information about them, but her creations can have their own forum without interrupting my original designs and commentary. What do you think? Leave her here and share with her, give her her very own blog, or just kick her off completely?

Radiation

So I created this abstract design, which I called "Radiation' a while ago. And then my daughter chose it for a bag for a gift. Laurie liked it so much she couldn't stop herself again - and ended up making a bunch of different gift items using my design. She thinks they'll be hot sellers. What do you think?

Feeling a Bit Geometric

I thought maybe my latest artistic inclinations, with lines and connections, and follow through, were related to wanting to get more organized in my life. But then I realized we're heading into summer here in Peru, and the bright colors and geometric designs just feel like fiestas and partying and being outdoors. Happy November to you!

And Laurie liked this one, too so she immediately used it to create this cute over the shoulder bag for a unique gift.
