Contemporary Abstract Mixed Media Botanical Painting 30/30 Challenge "Gilded Spring" by Intuitive Artist Joan Fullerton

                                  

  Day  13 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Art Challenge.

  

Previously this image had an eggplant color in the background. The painting was bold, but just not interesting enough (perhaps it was too bold). The background really overpowered the subtle color changes of the white Tulips. I put silver leafing in the negative spaces (background), glazing it with a combinations of burnt umber and burnt siena oil. Finally, I neutralized some of the brighter hues in the flowers while deepening the dark values.

I really like how the background changes the look of this painting, and how the metal leafing reflects differently depending on the light source.

Abstract Mixed Media Painting 30/30 Challenge "I'll See You In My Dreams" by Intuitive Artist Joan Fullerton

  Day  12 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Art Challenge.

  

Do you know someone in Heaven who shows up in your dreams? In this abstract collage you can see many things and make up countless stories, but for me it represents missing someone who visits me in my night-time dreams. Months ago I wrote "I'll see you in my dreams" on a piece of rice paper and yesterday when I noticed it on my work table, I knew it belonged in this painting. This abstract also works as a vertical. When you rotate it, an arched portal is visible.

Abstract Mixed Media Painting 30/30 Challenge "Inspiration Restoration" by Intuitive Artist Joan Fullerton

Day  9 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Art Challenge.

I started this a few weeks ago but collaging pages from an old yellowed copy of War and Peace, and pages from the 21st century Restoration Hardware catalogue. (RH catalogues have beautiful neutral textures.) Knowing what is underneath this painting, the title will make sense!

Painting on day 7 of Leslie Saeta's "30 Paintings in 30 Days" challenge.

Abstract Mixed Media Painting 30/30 Challenge "Anticipation" by Intuitive Artist Joan Fullerton

Here is my 3rd painting of the 30 in 30 days.

Leslie Saeta's challenge has me in the studio everyday for hours!

For me a new year beginning is like an empty canvas...the anticipation is delicious!

What story do you see in these images? Do you see an empty swing hanging from the ancient symbol for a new day beginning? (Sun on the horizon.)  A small faded deciduous tree on top of a very large empty nest, the nest being hinged over obscure branches? Is that rain falling on only 1/2 of the bottom area? How does the large area of contemplative space affect you? The quiet colors? The subtle images contrasted with bold ones? Let me know.

Abstract Mixed Media Painting 30/30 Challenge "Leaving Home" by Intuitive Artist Joan Fullerton

 I have signed on to Leslie Saeta's challenge to paint 30 paintings in 30 days. 

 Day 2 of Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 Days, I finished a collage begun in a class I was teaching.

 Underneath this collage with bird and fractured nest is a hidden face

 Knowing there is a face looking out from the painting is like having a bit of a secret.

 I believe each mark made in the art process, is a record of energy that contributes "life" to the art. 

  Multilayered, with a Jazz-like, syncopated beat, this painting has LOTS of good energy.

 Juxtaposing pieces from life makes a story...what story do you see illustrated?

Botanical Abstract Painting 30/30 Challenge "Growing Beyond" by Intuitive Artist Joan Fullerton

 I have signed on to Leslie Saeta's challenge to paint 30 paintings in 30 days. 

This is painting #1 of the challenge, painted Jan 1st.

 Since I have a studio full of unfinished work, I decided to complete 30 of my unfinished  paintings. 

 Usually what is on the substrate when I begin, suggests a possible subject or composition.
 The white flowers already existed on the top right, so I decided to abstract the remaining space  with swipes, drips and painted shapes. 

 I considered it finished, when I happened to notice some  scraps of printed picket fence on the  table. They seemed to fit the composition and provide  another element of meaning, so I glued  and painted them into the composition.

 Now this  painting has a story...a story about finding  renewed enthusiasm for life when we  explore  beyond limits.

  How perfect for the 1st day of  2016~!
