Just for Fun

Today's piece is called "Just for Fun", pastel on paper, 6"x9".

I don't have much to say about this piece, at least I don't think I do. The sketch (and I say that loosely) for this piece is barely more than a number of curved lines on a piece of paper. However, it was fun to try and build color into the piece and see what happened. It was back to blues and reds today with just a punch of orange for no other reason then I thought orange would be fun.

So have fun today in whatever you do and come back tomorrow for more ramblings of an unemployed person who believes she is an artist...but I really am!

Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided. ~Mae West

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.
