This will be the last painting I complete before the arrival of my second child in November. Like with my first, I`ll be taking a break from painting to focus on motherhood and the challenges it brings
Unlike my previous works, this painting is something I am creating for myself (though it will still be available for sale if anyone is interested). I plan to hang it in one of my bathrooms, where the walls are currently bare and in need of some art to liven them up.
The piece will consist of four canvases, each 40 X 40 cm, with 15 cm spacing between them to fit the available spaces. For the design, I am envisioning large, bold shapes. I do not want it to be overly intricate, but I`ll see where the creative process takes me.
I am ecstatic to have finished my newest commissioned piece. It is always a joy to create a piece for someone, knowing they will be viewing this artwork in their home everyday. My creativity gets pumped up and it makes it easier for the design to come together.
Throughout the journey of this piece, I was in contact with the client. I was sending frequent picture updates showing the different stages of the process to make the client feel more involved with the piece. Previously, I had waited to reveal the artwork to the client until the very end.
I am beyond thrilled with the way the design came together for this piece. To be honest, I’m quite sad this artwork is not apart of my collection for how much I love this design. The way the shapes connect to one another and fit like a puzzle, makes for a unique composition.
It has been some time since I had my last commissioned piece. Lately, I have been focused on producing more artwork to be added to my collection. But, the time has come, and I am ecstatic that my next painting will be a commissioned piece.
The requirements for this piece are quite simple. They requested the canvas to be approximately 18 X 24 inches in size. As that is the best size to fit on their wall. Next, they mentioned that I am free to be me and create! I am always elated when a customer gives full freedom and is confident in my creativity.
So far, the design for this piece has come along rather quickly. This does not always happen when coming up with a new design. Sometimes I have to draw many, many sketches before I am able to see something I like. So I am quite happy and excited to see where this artwork transpires.
“Composition 29” is composed of two canvases, each at 70 X 70 cm. The goal was to create a piece that didn’t contain too many canvases, but still incorporate a big design. I wanted to be able to complete this piece in time for it to be on display for my exhibition in Vienna from May 3rd to 23rd 2021 at The gallery-Steiner.
In the design of this painting, I wanted to give the viewer a new outlook on the pattern I create. This time I chose to in-large the pattern or what I like to call a “zoom-in” of the pattern. The large shapes help to bring out the boldness of the design.
The yellow, bright, line that goes around the piece was intended to help entice the eye to move from one section to the next. Furthermore, the bold, center, orange shape was meant to capture the eye into connecting both canvases together. Each shape was carefully designed with the aim at generating movement. As with all my artwork, the purpose of each is to create movement with bold and crisp shapes.
“Composition 29” was my final piece to be represented in my exhibition at The gallery-Steiner in Vienna, Austria.
The new piece that I have started to work on will be part of my collection that I will be exhibiting in my upcoming expo in Vienna, Austria in April 2021.
I choose two large canvases: each 70 X 70cm. My intention is to have a design that will contain large shapes or what I would call a “zoom in” of the pattern. This will be a new approach that I wanted to try out.
