Five New Original Artworks Inspired by The Ocean Underwater

new art iii

Introducing five new original abstract paintings from my Little Gems Series fresh from the studio! The inspiration and background behind these acrylic and ink on paper fine art creations is that I watched the beautiful, inspiring and oh-so emotional documentary film ‘My Octopus Teacher’ and became enthralled by the beauty of the ocean. Total honesty? I cry just re-watching the trailer. This film is magnificent. The paintings are a by-product of my experience watching this movie.

These gentle ocean paintings would work well to support the interior design of your bedroom or living room. Placing these paintings, with their soothing analogous colours and soft shapes, in a room where you intend to relax and let go of your day would work well to support you in creating a sanctuary in your home.

Following the principles of Feng Shui, and using the bagua concept, these paintings would accentuate the introspection and inner wisdom area of your life development and personal growth, as well as supporting your inner peace, specifically by placing them in the back left hand corner room of your room/home/office.

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
