The Joy of Color!
Awe, joy, and intense emotion from my paintings to YOU
“Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.” ― Wassily Kandinsky
Dear Friends,
The first time I remember having intense feelings around color, I was about six years old, and someone had generously treated me to a glorious box of 164 Crayola crayons. I remember gazing at them in awe, for what seemed a long time, at the absolute splendor of row upon row of luscious hues, hesitant to remove even one, lest I break the spell.
Since childhood, I’ve always looked forward to springtime for the emergence of bright, cheerful colors and warm sunny days. Bright yellow forsythia against a cobalt sky, a riot of purple and yellow pansies, and the candy colors of French macarons piled in a Madison Avenue gourmet shop window just visually excite me. They can spark an intense craving to go into my studio and put down layer after layer of rich color onto paper, board, or canvas.
And then my greatest hope is to convey some of that awe, joy, and intense emotion from my paintings to YOU!
This week I am sharing some of my latest expressions of color, all are encaustic wax pieces, and available for sale:
as original artwork, shown on my website (write to me for prices),
and in limited edition fine art giclée prints, available in my website print shop.
(In order to make my art more accessible, I’m increasing the special pricing discount to 25% through Mother’s Day, May 8th.)
I hope you like them!
Linda
