Winter Oranges
In this 8"x12" watercolor I layered washes and splattered paint. It seems like vibrant, warm colors are useful in winter. It was also inspired by the Solstice.

Kite Tetrad #2
This is an exercise working with the colors: red orange, yellow green, blue green and blue violet on the color wheel. When you draw lines connecting the four colors on the wheel, it forms a kite.

Arches Lone Tree
The work has stalled out, but I am searching for answers to problems. New favorite book: Watercolor Mixing: the 12-Hue Method by Christopher Willard.

Beginnings
Since June zipped by without the completion of the current painting, I decided to post some oldies. These are from an abstract series done in 2004 where I began to paint from intuition. It dawned on me later that this was a personal mandala and the embryotic center represented a new way of creating.

Into the light of day

Welcome to my blog! All my life the compulsion to create has been a strong one. Now that there are piles of artwork in the basement, it's time that they see the light of day. I'm also allowing a new philosophy to soften my internal critic. It's simple, but works.
1. "Just Paint."
2. Stay connected to what makes me feel joyful about creating, then "just paint."
3. It's all easier said than done then "just paint."
4. Let go of the current painting and start another one.
This series is inspired by the spectacular vistas of Canyonlands and Arches National Park in Utah. I hope you enjoy! Karen
