Tiffany Arp-Daleo Artwork

Abstract Paintings, Mixed Media, Photography

Undertows

12″ x 16″ Mixed media on canvas

There’s always something underneath that you can’t see. Sometimes it’s calm, sometimes it’s turbulent. In this case, it’s just some acrylic paint, a little alcohol ink, and ink on canvas, I call it “Undertows”.

It’s been a crazy week for me, all kinds of stuff going on! Additionally, I’m scheduled to get my first Covid vaccine tomorrow, a little nervous, but it must be done!

It’s times like these that I am so grateful to have my artwork as an outlet. When I can get into a painting flow or groove it helps ease my mind and anxiety. I suppose for some people it is reading a good book, or preparing an elaborate meal, something that we enjoy doing to take our minds off our troubles.

I hope you are having a great week, stay creative and healthy my friends! 😊🙏🎨

    I feel a colorful “Steampunk” vibe going on here. I like it. I see a vintage locomotive emerging out of a cloud of memories. Good luck with your vaccine!

        Good luck! I’ve had both doses now. Both times I had a very, very sore arm, and I did feel a little worn out. With the second one I also had a slight headache, but nothing too bad. I just rested, did some reading, and took it easy.

          It’s been about 12 hours, sore but otherwise symptom-free, I think I will make it!! 😉🙏

            Great! I’ll be so glad when we put this pandemic behind us. Even though it hasn’t affected too much as far as my routine, it’s still been a source of concern always there in the back of my mind.

    It has an underwater feel, Tiffany, with what seems like a diver`s helmet and rising bubbles of air.

      Oh yeah, I can see that too, Graham! I actually thought about working in an octopus, maybe I will! 😉🐙

    I see musical clef notes and a groove underground and feeling that vibe

    If you had covid dose #1 will suck. Otherwise dose #2 will suck even more if you haven’t had Covid…so I wouldn’t worry.
