Old Tree

Here is today's picture, Old Tree, it is pastel on paper, 9"x12".

I spent most of the day outside by the Kensico Dam with three people who make my heart sing. So that is why I think today's picture needed to be a tree. Also, I included my favorite color, blue, and my best girl's favorite color, purple.

I also realized that I will need to really think out how/when I will create my daily piece when school is not in session...maybe I'll post my favorite little artist's work, haha.

I hope you enjoyed this beautiful day!

Artist Statement

My work is a celebration of nature and women, specifically woman as mother. The female figure is a powerful one and dominates most of my works. Even the pieces reflecting trees are a tribute to the power of women signifying Mother Nature. Both are strong and feed my creative energy.

The pieces are abstract in design with a focus on form, movement and color. This is infused into my work, no matter what medium is used. The favored mediums are acrylic, pastel and oil. Each gives a different outcome and dimension to the piece. Pastels give a soft feel while acrylics give a strong, vibrant feel and oils allow for texture and movement.

The creative process remains the same regardless of the medium used or the subject matter chosen. Each piece starts out as a sketch that has been inspired by nature or life. It is developed and fine tuned before it is recreated in color.
