#1. “BY MY FIRE”

ACRYLIC ABSTRACT  20” X 20”

For Sale $250. 

“BY MY FIRE” is my captivating example of acrylic fluid art that beautifully captures the essence of warmth and energy through its vibrant color palette and fluid movement. The choice of vivid shades of orange, red, and yellow effectively emulates the flickering and dynamic nature of flames, immersing the viewer in the comforting yet intense environment of being near a fire. This use of color not only brings a strong emotional resonance but also allows the artwork to exude a powerful sense of warmth and vitality. The visual comparison to fire is particularly successful in drawing the viewer into my intended atmosphere, making it easy to imagine the comforting crackle and glow of embers.

Large Acrylic Abstract painting. Available for sale.

This artwork showcases an abstract composition where blue, pink, cream, and beige hues intermingle across the canvas in a harmonious yet dynamic manner. I emplyed a variety of geometric shapes, lines and symbols creating a layered and textured appearance.  Vertical and horizontal lines intersect with circular forms and more freeform squiggles, producing a sense of controlled spontaneity.  Drips and smudges in shades of blue add depth and movement while sections of unblended soft pinks create a plasing contrast to the more rigid elements.  The overall effect is both structured and fluid, reflecting a balance between chaos and order.  

The integration of geometric and organic forms suggest in my opinion an exploration of the relationship between the natural and constructed worlds.  The straight lines and ircles represent order and precision, while the more fluid ddrips and squiggles infuse the piece with a sense of dynamism and unpredictability.  This creates a tension that is both engaging and thought-provoking.
