JewelsAndGold is truly a stunning large acrylic painting! For this best abstract expressionism painting I started with a blank mind and a blank canvas. After staring at the canvas for a while, a thought came to me… I want to use gold and bronze squeezed straight from the tubes. So I under-painted the canvas green then went crazy with broad fast gestures of black paint. I continued my mark-making journey with yellow, white, and different tones of green, then back to black. Next, I decided I wanted all of my gold and bronze shapes to be geometric (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles). I know that a lot of people wouldn’t think of a painting to be predominately green but I love this painting… it’s perfect!
I love to paint! I learned to draw at a young age but once I started to understand the principles and techniques of painting, it transferred me to another level of appreciation and anticipation.
In my younger years, I went for private lessons in landscape painting (after hours). Then, in my later years, I went to college (TAFE) & Uni NSW (COFA) to learn more where I managed to get many distinctions across different disciplines: painting | drawing | ceramics | and professional practice. My biggest passions in life are art and music!
