Red Meditation Artwork

I love red! Monochromatic textured paintings express the many different ways that colors move. It is a very meditative process, as the pre planning for this painting is minimal. The beads and I just get into a zone and the work begins. With a monochromatic piece, I first paint the canvas. Then I affix the beads to the canvas, and then paint. I don’t have a set pattern in mind when I begin. I place a bead down and they seem to know just where they want to go. I usually work with three or four different size beads, to create more texture. I love doing this type of painting. It’s easy to get lost in the patterns, and it can look different depending on the lighting, or where you view it from.
