As an intuitive painter I never know where I'm going to end up. It's usually quite a bit downstream from where I started, but the best part is that in the process of making the art I learn more about myself and the things I truly value in the world.
There's also quite a bit of community involvement, too. And by community, I mean the other paintings and painting ideas surrounding me here in the studio, along with input from a few valued friends. I'm becoming a much better listener, and that sets me up to explore all sorts of things that might not have come to mind on their own.
WIth Moonbeam, I listened to another in process piece (top left), so that when I discovered an intriguing passage I decided to showcase that on it's own in a new painting. Then, at the urging of my critique group, I explored that new in process painting (bottom row, left) as an abstraction, looking at the movement and energy the equine piece carried, and converting that into non recognizable shapes (bottom row middle). Then I leaned into all three of the impetus pieces/stages as I figured out a way to distill the circular energy in the abstraction using organic linear shapes that I utterly love (like trees and grasses) for an interesting application in the unfinished paintings.
This is a pretty standard process for all my paintings, although it's not always as clear cut as with Moonbeam. Often I am pulling bits from all over, leaning in to whatever feels right at that moment.
You can see Moonbeam in greater detail here, where there is also a link to purchase.
Let me know if you would like a payment plan (30% non refundable deposit with the balance plus s&h paid off within a year) - those are set up on an individual basis and not processed through my website.
Thanks so much for your interest in my artwork,
All my best, warmly, Kim |
