The person requesting this commission painting wanted, "purples and blues and crisp".  It is certainly that.  There is a heavy nod to k.d. lang in the titling of this one.  While finishing up the painting and listening to music, coincidentally(?) k.d. lang and the Reclines 1987 came on my ipod(!) with "Turn Me round".  The last words are the perfect title. 

"Next Dance is a Circle Square", 18" x 36" 

I'm still sticking with the blues with this one.  Yes, there is an X, but there is also a square somewhere in all those circles.

"My Ex", 16" x 16", acrylic on wide profile canvas (black edges), unframed

This is one of my favorites.  I love BAH-LUU so all the blue in this piece is very calming and happy at the same time.

"Take My Hand", 30" x 10", acrylic on wide profile canvas. 

"It All Depends 2", 18" x 36", acrylic on wide profile canvas

OR it could be titled "We're All In This Together".  Hmmmm.  Where have I heard that before?

 

There's a new art genre in town!  I 've christened it Whimsical Abstract.  It's maybe a little Dr. Seuss-y.

"It All Depends 1", 24" x 36", acrylic on wide profile canvas
 

 

Flowers or blobs?  A vase or stems?  It's whatever you want it to be.

"Splash and Spray", 30" x 30", acrylic on wide profile canvas

Line of Royalty

My living room is too traditional.  It doesn't reflect who I am.  So I bought a new couch and some other stuff, painted the walls and then painted these 3 "Line of Royalty" members to untraditionalize the place.  Detraditionalize?  They hang right next to more traditional artwork . Whimsical paintings to the rescue.
