Paintings

 

The paintings on this page are the beginning of a style that I am calling my,

 

intuitive/decorative style.

 

Part of this style is influenced by the art movements  Art Nouveau, Pre-Raphaelite and many contemporary art styles from the 60's and 70's that included funk and flash and nature.

 

I love to create with so many different art supplies and concepts that having a muse like a Swallow to guide me has been great to create focus and some glue to tie my work together while I am finding my artistic voice.

 

The paintings I have created lately in acrylics and mixed mediums ;lus encaustics, has helped me realize ideas I have had for a long time, flying around my brain. 

 

Although I am sharing paintings on this page, I also use my swallow muse for drawing, creating sculpture in clay, pottery, fabric, found materials and paper mache'. 

 

Here is a close up of what my swallow diva muse looks like.

 

 

 After creating my muse, I decided to apply the style to a self portrait.

This painting is the vision statement for

 tsk self portrait in water

 

Above is a self-portrait

which shows my love of the water and our beautiful

pacific northwest.  Sitting on the branch suspended

in space and time is my swedish grandfather

from Dal Sweden.

 

 

Although I have written plans for my art kingdom, I try to illustrate them too!  Peace, Harmony & Beauty.   

This is the first acrylic painting I did that helped me begin developing what I call intuitive/decorative.  I like using script and layering along with abstraction and making things look real or adding collage to juxtapose photographic realism mixed with dream like images.
