Crossings

Published on March 14, 2012 in Abstract Art, Art, Art by black women, ART GALLERY, Art Sale, Originals and Paintings. 0 Comments

This spiritual piece explores crossing over and accepting change.

It’s not just about death but about life choices and reaching the other side of our choices successfully. It’s about life changes, changes we can control and those we have no control over. The painting is about not alienating ourselves or putting rifts so large we can’t repair them. It’s about turning our backs on life’s waters (making bad decisions) but also moving forward, connecting. It’s about walking in the dark but not walking alone.

“Crossings” has dark colors against strong yellow, red and turquoise. White figures stand out, black figures linger in the back. A woman in a red dress stands with her back to her past. She is looking forward to life.

Crossings: death, birth and all life changes

Crossings is an original painting and is now available in my Etsy shop. Please see the sidebar for the Etsy link. SOLD

Sweet, sweet Gardenia why won’t you smile?
The earth offers the power of blossoms as the
Heavens exhale in color
Sweet, sweet Gardenia, why won’t you open your eyes?
Crumbling soul, child of despair
Please I say, open your eyes.

Moonlight Walker

Published on October 11, 2011 in Art, Art by black women, ART GALLERY, Art Sale, Flowers, Originals and Paintings. 0 Comments

Early in the day I began sculpting a doll out of polymer clay. After baking her then going through the next step I had an idea for a painting pop in my head. I put the doll aside, got out my oil paints and a simple board and began throwing paint around. This is how Moonlight Walker began, an idea right in the middle of a different project.

Painting details: Asian style original oil  painting, expressionism, single poppy flower, figure walking away in the moonlight. Signed, dated, sealed, and mounted on black cardstock.

Primary colors: blue, green, yellow hues, a few touches of red.

Moonlight Walker is now available in my Etsy shop. Please see the sidebar for the Etsy shop link.
