This gorgeous lady got a blog post all to herself. What I wrote about this painting there summed it up perfectly:

Painting for me is all about trusting the process while working it out on canvas. I can be a bit of an over-thinker, over-anazlyer. At times a painting gets stuck because I’m afraid to make a move and try something. Yet if I plan each step and each color out beforehand, I get caught up in following a plan and trying to make it perfect, that loose and free feeling gets lost. Life is messy, full of chaotic color, drips and spills, bold layered texture and soft-spoken details in the background that quietly help shape who we are. We can make plans, but our paths frequently change and if we’re caught up in sticking to the plan we might miss some of the texture of life. Sometimes you just have to make a swipe of color.

”Transform” is a 30x40” with a 1 1/2” gallery wrapped canvas, the sides painted so it can be framed or left un-framed.

This is an original acrylic painting with collage paper and modeling paste for added texture. A combination of translucent fluid paint and thick, heavy-body paint give this painting the variety that mimics life.
