Daydream 2

Once again I experimented with a limited and muted palette. I'm really pleased with the results--I think the dark colors really create a mood. The music, I'm sure, helped, too. I turned to my favorite painting music, Damien Rice's O. If you haven't heard it, you're really missing out.

Musing

I enjoyed experimenting with a slightly muted palette. I achieved this by mixing a color with its complimentary color. So to make a muted green, I'd add a touch of red.

I was in a dark mood and painting this while listening to good old fashioned The Cure really cheered me up.

In the Flesh

Five years ago I got to spend five days in NYC with my brother and visit The Met and The MoMA. I got to see my very first Van Gogh--in the flesh. It was an exciting and surreal experience. It amazes me how differently you experience art in person. There's so much more richness and texture and LIFE in the painting. It's almost as if the painting is a living, breathing soul.

Last month I got to visit Washington, DC for the very first time and one of the highlights was The National Gallery of Art. I got to see more Van Gogh, along with some Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec and my favorite Modigliani.

Blue Chair

Most of the time lately, I've been throwing up rainbows. I thought it would be an interesting challenge to limit my palette to blues, greens and yellows. Of course I had to cheat a little to create my signature blushing cheeks. I drew inspiration from Picasso and Van Gogh.

Turquoise Scarf

I had a lot of fun with this one. The polka-dot wallpaper puts a big smile on my face.

Favorite Quote

This is one of my favorite quotes. When I was a teenager my mom hung this quote in the kids' bathroom. There were a handful of times when I was struggling with something and I'd go to use the bathroom and the quote would hit me like a hammer on the head and I'd remember to pray.
