The Earth Laughs in Flowers, 18”x24” on paper. Ohhhh, this range of reds, warm to cool, corals, pinks included... so exciting. Did you ever lay down in a bed of flowers? Or see certain color that just made you giddy with delight? This is how that feels!!! 🤩😍🤩🥰❤️💕 . . . . #28februaryflowers #abstractart #abstractartist #abstractartorg #abstractexpressionism #artcollector #Romanticgift #artforlicensing #artsales #mixedmediaart #teachingartist #roxannesteedfineart #roxannesteed #intuitiveart #abstractfloral #passioncolorjoy #abstractexpressionist #ratedmodernart #lovestories #flowerpaintings #goldenacrylics #blickart #abstractimpressionism Love my Mother Earth, 9”x12” on paper. The abstract acrylics class I teach meets on Thursday, which of course I wanted a Valentines theme as I talked about using a color wheel, complementary colors, analogous colors, split complementary themes, etc. Who would guess that such a simple theme (hearts), could look so much more sophisticated by HOW you use color? (I love teaching this stuff!) The strength of a color lies not on just itself, but what it lies next to. .....ps- there’s something about the blues and greens in this that reminds me of old globes!😘 . . .

Day 15 of #28februaryflowers just a half day late. I was doing some mental & physical KonMarieing. (Honestly, do you know anyone else whose name can be used as a verb?). Just sharing some sketchbook work, this time in acrylics. I have a lovely sketchbook that turned out to be quite yuck for watercolors, but rather lovely for messing about with acrylics. So within these pages I try out some new ideas. The pages get continually painted over until I decide there’s enough of ‘something’ that I like that I want to remember! It might be related to shape, color patterns, composition, and it may or may not be what I’d call a finished painting.... but there’s something useful in there to me! Funny, a lot of my watercolor sketchbooks end up that way. Some are more “finished” than others. Some have beautiful pages interspersed with paint samplings, notes, class demos, etc. Usually, all of the pages have some relevance to me. What are your sketchbook habits (if you have them)? Do you have a glamorous lovely book? Or do you use it as a functional working aid? Or just keep one for the fun of what strikes your fancy at any given moment? I love seeing other artists sketchbooks!! . . . . #28februaryflowers #sketchbook #abstractflowers #teachingartist #passioncolorjoy #artforlife #creativeprocess #doitfortheprocess Happy Valentine’s Day dear friends!! These little heart windows are looking in upon ruffles of pink flowers. . . . . #28februaryflowers #abstractart #abstractartist #abstractartorg #abstractexpressionism #artcollector #Romanticgift #artforlicensing #artsales #mixedmediaart #teachingartist #roxannesteedfineart #roxannesteed #intuitiveart #abstractfloral #passioncolorjoy #abstractexpressionist #ratedmodernart #lovestories #flowerpaintings #goldenacrylics #blickart #abstractimpressionism Lightly Dance, 12”x12”x1” (a recent repost);let your life lightly Dance on the edges of time, like the dew on the top of a leaf. . . . #28februaryflowers . . . . #bohohomedecor #healingart #intuitiveart #abstractimpressionism #artforbreakfast #painterslife #artforthehome #goldenacrylics #artiststudios #workingartist #theartlovers #visualpoetry #abstractflorals #abstractexpressionism #artforbreakfast How many representational painters do you know that are now exploring subject matter in the abstract? Actually- it’s not so rare. And now I am one of those artists who has sought this out! About six years ago, I started noticing certain abstract art that I just couldn’t take my eyes off of! The analytical side of my brain started pondering ‘why’? And I’ve spent a lot of time studying why does some abstract work draw me in and others leaves me cold? As it turns out- it is very similar reasons to the things that draw me to certain representational works; composition, concept, value, color. Finding this next stage of my art journey very liberating! thanks to @wendylmcwilliamsart for this image! (Have a visit, she’s amazing)! . . . . . . . #bohohomedecor #healingart #intuitiveart #abstractimpressionism #artforbreakfast #painterslife #artforthehome #goldenacrylics #artiststudios #workingartist #theartlovers #visualpoetry #abstractflorals #abstractexpressionism #artforbreakfast
