Original Mixed Media Abstract Painting Just Sold 'Should I Stay?'
/This original one-of-a-kind modern contemporary spiritually inspired abstract mixed media painting was recently shipped to Ms. K. Decker in Toledo, Ohio. Ms. D, Thank you for becoming a collector of my original artwork! It is one of my great pleasures to pack up art and ship is across this great continent to an appreciative and new art collector! I trust you will enjoy your painting !
This textured original piece of modern art was created with hand-writing in india ink for its ground layer and then built up with layers of acrylics, sand and gesso .
The predominant colours of this painting are burgundy, a dark shade of red with a purplish tinge, symbolizing wealth, power, and ambition.
The original painting was inspired by large handwritten words of angst and indecision, hence the title ‘Should I stay?’. In my creative and life process, I often journal to figure things out. In doing so, transform what is a creative tension (a situation where disagreement or discord) ultimately allowing it to give rise to better ideas or outcomes: namely - artwork.
In regards to the process of creating this painting, the quote from Brenee brown really encapsulates how I feel about it;
“Art has the power to render our sorrow beautiful and has the power to transform despair into hope”
- Brenee Brown
