962 Jack in the Box

I'm having almost as much fun coming up with titles for these paintings as I am making the paintings.

960 Forget-Me-Not

I love the color blue and so when I "saw" the teapot in the paint splotch, I jumped on the opportunity to feature this cool and calming section of the color wheel.  There are very few truly blue flowers, and they are some of my favorites.  Forget-Me-Nots are the sweetest little plants, Brunnerra's flowers are very much like Forget-Me-Nots but have much larger leaves, and of course Delphinium, which I have not had luck in growing.  As an artist, I'm allowed to create my own blue flowers.  So there.

959 Black Tie Affair

I thought I'd try something a little different this time and left the background white.  I think you can see where the paint spills originated.  Please let me reiterate that there is no planning or forethought in the spills.  I'm not sure I like the white background but I guess it can be colored in if I decide otherwise.

958 Fruit Salad

I thought I would mix it up and "look for" fruit in my black paint "spill."  This was more challenging than the previous florals, but still lots of fun. This is so far removed from my regular style of painting, but it is very liberating.  I can't help but feel these are "happy paintings" and well liked because there is so much gloom in our world right now.

955 Playground

I'm having a ball encouraging my creative side (and black paint) to bust loose.  This is such a freeing exercise! I think you can probably see some of the black "Rorschack" pour behind the yellow background.

I've received a lot of positive feedback, so I will continue on this path for awhile.
