This Month at The Collective Art Gallery Topeka.

Quiet Vigilance 24"x24" Acrylic on Canvas. Sometimes you have to take several steps backwards to gather your thoughts. As an effort to regain some inspiration, I went gallery hopping last Friday. As serendipity would have it, Barbara Waterman-Peters was attending the collective gallery. We had a wonderful discussion about artwork and she took a look at my portfolio. She enjoyed everything but encouraged me to continue my exploration of my yellow nudes. My last set was done when I was living in a similar situation, so it followed that they would be a logical avenue to shake my current moody slump. With rejuvenated energy, I went back to my yellow nudes. I discovered, they have never really went away, just took a break. Now I have a huge array of subject matter and direction to keep my days filled with painting. From my blog 4/30/07

 

Also: Comforing Dreams 24"x24" Acrylic on Canvas. 

I have been having some crazy dreams lately. Some have been inspiring, others thought provoking, others obviously dealing with something. And my yellow figurative pieces usually serve as a mirror to what is immediately happening in my soul or maybe it's my subconscious and therefore aptly what has transpired in my dreams.
