I've decided to get back on eBay to sell my paintings and so far...it's working! Which throws me into painting as much as I can to get a great inventory of paintings built up. I'll be sending out posts with each new painting as they are listed on eBay for you to see and hopefully make a bid. Believe it or not, I had a small bidding war going on with one of my paintings, and one of the bidders thought I had someone out there in eBayLand driving the bids up. Hardly. (but wish I did, hahaha, hmmm...). But for now, I'll try this for a time and see how it goes and in the meantime looking for gallery representation here in the creative city of Asheville.
I decided to try out a wood panel to paint, many artists prefer painting on wood panels. I agree with them in their opinions, there's no bounce or give to the canvas so easier to paint. Definitely a nice glide with each brush stroke. Sweet, actually. So I did liked working with the wood panel. Presently, I'm working on more intuitive paintings, rather than having a definite intention with my work. It feels good to work intuitively right now. I'm still working with bold colors, even though I love pastel shades. There's something so clean and fresh about them. But for most of my work, it's about vivid, bold colors.
I blame it on my Dad. When I was a young girl, one day my Dad got me up early and I we drove from Asheville to Atlanta the big city on a business trip. He bought me a box of 64 crayons and I adored them. To have so many choices of colors was totally happiness for me. Ah, the possibilities. So, that's when I fell madly in love with color. I studied each crayon over and over and read each name repeatedly, as if I had to memorize them. Did you do that as a kid, or was it just me? It's a memory I'll never forget and hope I don't. It was the greatest gift in my little eyes at that time.
Now back to reality, while working on this little wood panel, I name came to me..."She danced". The movement of the paint gives one the impression of seeing the room spin as one twirls or turns in a dance. Splatters of paint are showered down on this panel like confetti or great delight of the moment one dances and feels total joy. I hope you feel it here, because it was good that "She danced".
