"Quandary" - 24" x 30" x 1.5" - Acrylic on hollow core door panel - $225.00


SOLD!!  I was out on the street last Friday evening trying to sell some paintings and this monochromatic piece was among those works that I was displaying.  I must have had five or six people ask me "what does that say, are those letters?"  

Honestly, I was not being intentionally cryptic when I painted the white line.  It is just what happened after I picked up the squeeze bottle of white paint and started moving it over the painting.  Later I did notice however that it seemed to resemble some semblance of a word, maybe...  I also did not intend for the black and grey space to resemble an aardvark but it sort of does doesn't it?  Quite the "quandary" isn't it?

Untitled Acrylic Abstract


This little painting is small (11 x 14) however it holds great meaning for me.  It represents a total liberation from any pre-conceived notions of what people expect my art to be.  I am very excited by the artistic liberty that I experienced during the creation of this piece.  The entire painting only took about 20 minutes to create and not once during the creative process did I experience that all too common "fear of failure" nor did I have even the most fleeting thought of what it was supposed to be.  (I know one of you out there is saying "well, that's obvious" and that's ok...)  Honestly, with each painting that I create now, I am experiencing more and more of this emancipation and I have to say that it feels pretty good.  I hope you are experiencing liberty in your life today because with liberty comes peace and through peace we can most assuredly say that we are "free at last, free at last"!
