Contemporary Abstract Landscape Painting "Pool of Light" by Intuitive Artist Joan Fullerton

   FRESH OFF THE EASEL...

Working intuitively means I never know what a painting is going to look like. You might discover in this painting, a distant home with light around it, a trickling stream and a pond. But you would not know that underneath is a forest painting. It intrigues me that multiple images, thoughts, impressions, and emotions, are layered over top of each other. Different places on the planet, different metaphors about life, are juxtaposed.

Contemporary Abstract Landscape Painting "Meditation" by Intuitive Artist Joan Fullerton

Coming from the prairies of Wyoming I see most paintings with horizontals as landscapes, but this painting could easily be a seascape, given the many blue hues and the reflective qualities. I see a hint of a ladder in the subtle markings of the surface and there is an opening in the center which might represent a sort of doorway into the empty, quiet, mind, that can be achieved in moments of meditation.

Evolution of a Painting

A favorite painting from the "30 Paintings in 30 Days", hosted by Leslie Saeta, I titled: Perfect Vision. Of course, perfect vision is impossible, unless you decide "imperfect is the new perfect"! 

Here is an evolution of one search for imperfect perfect.

Version 1
 Striped collage paper, images of trees,
fences, painted rain, and circle over
a line, indicating a sun on the horizon.

That we all have a biased, fuzzy, fluctuating and partial vision of life, gives us our own unique vision. I say embrace this!

My process involves: posing questions, adding, subtracting, noticing what shows up, staying curious and not hesitating to follow my curiosity.

It about persevering beyond your initial solutions...digging deeper. Sometimes I regret having covered over a previous stage, but what I learn by further investigation is priceless.

Diebenkorn suggests we attempt what is not certain; doing this certainly entertains me!

Creativity isn't about talent, it is a way of operating.

Final version
The result has greater visual depth because of
the layering, I added the house image
providing a more poetic statement,
and the copper leaf sits on top for some dazzle.

Version 2
Here I added a bird looking outward, greatly simplified
the background, created a flower in a new opening,
and I discovered a very little bird top right
of the flower.
