Tiffany Arp-Daleo Artwork

Abstract Paintings, Mixed Media, Photography

Symbols

This was originally a larger painting on watercolor paper that I didn’t love, so I cut it into 4 pieces, about 5/6”. I’ve been enjoying painting on a smaller scale lately.

I added colors and marks, several different mediums, and I just played around and trying to make them each unique, while keeping the same common background. The part I did like is the stenciled symbols, so I tried not to cover them up too much.

There’s two others somewhere around here, my studio is a total mess, maybe I need to straighten up! πŸ˜‰

    I like small paintings — they have a different power. This is very interesting!

      Thanks Martha! It’s interesting how my head space changes when painting/creating different size, mediums, colors, etc., I don’t ever try to analyze it, but it is pretty cool.

        I experienced that when I did my first (and, so far, only) large painting (4″x3″). It was, “Huh?” But it turned out to be fun.

          Yep. My first 4′ x 6′ is still in the shed unfinished, I was so intimidated!

            Mine was a canvas that was given to me by a painter who’d lost his vision. It wasn’t “just” a canvas because of that. I started a painting then knew it wasn’t the right painting. A few years later I saw something out at the Refuge that felt like a gift. A solitary Sandhill crane walking among some tree saplings on a misty, snowy March day. It took a while — and Covid — before I saw what the canvas wanted to be. That. Painting it was fantastic and now it’s hanging exactly where it should be.

    Each of your creations are unique. ✨ These made me think of the 80s for some reason. πŸ‘πŸ»

      Thanks Michele, yes, there are some 80’s vibes going on here, now that you say it! Seems like I had some cute anklet socks with some of those signs and symbols, or maybe a skinny tie! πŸ˜‚

    The symbols hint at a secret code, and the smaller size invites close examination. The colours are wonderful too.

      Ooh, yeah, and since I am a Cryptogram addict, I love the idea of secret codes! Thanks Audrey!
