I love doing this style of abstract painting, it helps me open my mind and make marks without thinking. Of course, when it comes to finishing the painting, I try to make sure the colors and shapes are somewhat balanced, which I am happy with here. To me, it sings a “Rustic Melody”!
Though my paintings are created intuitively, I’m often inspired by my environment. Right now, San Diego is steaming hot, humid and windy, which puts us in danger of wildfires, much scarier than earthquakes for us. A new fire broke out yesterday about 20 miles from where we live, today we woke up with a red tint to the smokey sky and thick ash all over everything. The fire season has only just begun.
I’ve uploaded “Rustic Melody” to my Redbubble shop, click here to view the 86 apparel and household items that are available in this design!
Needless to say, we will be staying indoors with the windows shut this Labor Day weekend, even though it is over 100 degrees and no, we don’t have air conditioning! I hope you are all safe, comfortable and enjoy the weekend!
