Seize The Day I & II Diptych Painting

This piece was inspired by the beautiful water surrounding me in SW Florida. My hope is that it conveys the feelings an emotions of being near the Gulf Coast through mimicking it's colors and textures. This piece is a diptych which can be hung together in a larger space, or they could be split up and used to coordinate within a space to compliment each other, ie. flanking a bed or fireplace. "After experiencing traumatic life change in 2020, I have used my art as a way to express my inner feelings and process the world through my new lenses of seeing the world. Through the action of painting, I bring beauty into the world, which heals my soul. My paintings brings positive energy and beauty to the piece's final destination, and that improves the world one painting at a time." When creating my paintings, I start with words of affirmation or prayers for the day along with automatic drawing. I then choose colors that inspire me to build movement and texture using many types of mark making tools or media to get the affects I am looking for ie. graphite, pastel, artist crayons, etc. As the painting progresses, I see a composition that I want to explore and will continue this process until the painting feels satisfied. I finish all paintings with satin varnish to unify the finish and protect the painting from dirt and UV light. This painting is on stretched canvas and is 1.5" gallery wrapped with a white painted edge. It is pre-strung for hanging and will include the hanging hardware. The painting is signed by the artist on the back and side.
