Keeping Secrets..

I am happy to introduce my latest abstract painting, “Keeping Secrets” to you! I actually painted another painting which did not make it to fruition while making this piece. Lately I have found myself with my creative wires crossed, a lot of confusion and determination… just fighting within myself. Having felt these feelings before, I know it is important to step away when my body needs it. On the other hand, the resulting artwork shows my growth and new processes emerging.

I started the first painting on April 14th, dumped it (I may end up cutting it or seeing if i can sneak it into an upcoming “Card Club” edition) around May 1st and started “Keeping Secrets’ then with the same palette. I completed this painting on May 11, 2023. During those 11 days, I thought about the layers here and the energy and feedback they are holding. Each layer elicits a different type of response from me and I find it fascinating how that energy remains trapped into the canvas forever.

I wish I could write a better explanation.. but I feel that these untangible moments are best left unwritten. There is a part of me that worries that if those moments are indeed written down, re-reading them will alter my process.

This is my fourth painting using this color palette. I don’t know why I am so connected to these colors. They remind me of my garden, the sun, and all of the memories learned while growing up in San Diego, CA. The colors make me feel very comfortable, at peace, and I hope you feel the same as well.

This painting is varnished and ready to ship anywhere in the world. If you would like to purchase the painting, or if you would like to see some of the layers close up, please click here.
