Wow! Love the defining edges and negative spaces! Great strokes! They remind me of the snake plant or what is known as "mother-in-laws tongue. I have some in the garden. It's calling to be framed!

Wow, thanks for the feedback, Carol. Defining edges and negative space are exactly what I was playing with. Mother-in-law's tongue! I'd forgotten that plant name!

A frame, eh?

I love your collection of whirling grasses!

Janet Bradish said...

Gorgeous! Love the colour - especially the touches of 'grey-purple'. All Carol's comments - put a frame on it!!

Thanks, Simone. Fun to paint because the process felt mostly organic and intuitive throughout : )

Your choice of colors...the varying lines and edges...this is really beautiful. I especially love those scratchy bits of background...YUM!

Janet, hello! Thanks for your comments—so helpful to have you bounce your response to this piece my way. Happy that you like the gray-purple, as do I! Funny that you and Carol are nudging me to put a frame on it. This piece is a paint-over on top of the art that was on it when I picked the panel up for free at a neighborhood yard sale/give-away, AND I've painted over the art that was on the OTHER side of the panel as well (will post soon)! I'll need a frame open on both sides : )

Jen, those scratchy bits of background so engaged me as I worked. So happy they especially caught your eye, AND that you noticed the varying lines and edges. Woo hoo! Thank you!

Just makes me smile. Soft summer day. Maybe a spring shower is moving in. I love the movement. Gentle breeze. There seems to be some hugging here. :) Dotty, they do make glass frames :) Double sided glass frame, or a floater frame. You can get them in a standard frame to hang, or on a stand for a shelf... You could flip it around depending on your mood, or the season or.... LOL :)

Sheila, what a gift that a painting I very much enjoyed creating is bringing such enjoyment to you and others—awesome! Love that you sense softness, warmth, a possible spring shower, movement, gentle breeze … and hugging!

LOL that you all are not gonna let me get away w/o framing this piece! Great idea to consider a double-sided glass frame!

Thank you, thank you : )
