Monaco Silk 1 "Two Queens" Painting

Hello, Welcome My name is Patrinia Landrum and I am a self-taught abstract artist. I started painting years ago during the last recession. I had always had an interest in drawing and was a doodler. Always drawing. As a child I had an interest in drawing as well. When I started painting, I realized that I loved it and continued to paint on a regular basis. I am a painter that never runs out of creativity. If I have canvas, I'm painting. Conversation, Communication, Continuation, Consolidation, Consideration all play a part or is the basis for all my works of art. Happiness, love, romance, concern, joy, peace, dreams and other things inspire my work as well. I was told that I should share more of what inspires me so that people can relate to my work or understand my work and I find it difficult to do. It is difficult to share what moves you with those you don't know because you do not know how others will interpret the information. Well, my works are mostly inspired by the difficulty in communicating with a family member who (I do not want to say suffers) but they suffer from mental health issues that prevent them from communicating properly and respectfully at times.... really due to something that they had no part in. Creation. So, this is why I show grace beyond measure. I still insist that there is not anything in mind when starting a piece. Well, none that I am aware of on the surface. I just love to create things. I am a communicator and I believe that it is key to any successful relationship. I look at my technique or style as a way to put the words I would like to say on canvas, unknowingly. Because at some point I get lost in creating the piece once the unknown starts to form into something I can gauge and manipulate consciously. Well, when communication is bad, I paint, when it is good, I paint, but the driving force behind my works are greatly inspired by difficulties in communicating with this family member at times. Whether I recognize this at the start or not. I hope that my work brings you a sense of calm, comfort, warmth, love and happiness.
