Abstract Design X
This design is like a mandala to my mind. I like the sense of water flowing and the flames of fire in the one digital painting. This is part of my wrapping paper design series but I am not sure if it would be good for this purpose. It is very different from much of my work – except I do feel incredible motion in this painting and does evoke an emotional response in me. Actually, now that you mention it, there is also a richness of color that is in harmony with my other artwork.

That is what I want to share about in this post tonight … this being different from much of my work. Yesterday I shared the quote “I love the whimsical and poetic quality of your work. A true inspiration!†I am very excited about a fellow artist (or anyone for that matter) seeing my work that way.
I have often spoken of color being the underlying unifying theme of my work. This quote from yesterday is making wonder if a “whimsical and poetic quality” could also be applied to my paintings of all kinds. When I think through my work, perhaps this does cross from my oil paintings to my kitty paintings to my designs.
But I have on my mind tonight … am I too spread out? Some reading today suggests that very important to specialize. To not do work that is different from what one usually does. I am going to continue this tomorrow.

Hi Diane,
I have faith that you will find the answer to your conundrum. In the meantime I will ask what it is you enjoy doing?

Hi Sue –
I can tell you what I enjoy doing … a variety of things … I enjoy painting and the business aspect and working with clients doing graphic design – helping them create their materials that reflect who they are. I like getting my hands dirty with paint and I love working with digital programs.
I like variety … I like to be deeply, passionately involved in whatever I am doing right then – but then want to learn something new also.
i am in the process of writing a series of 5 posts – this is the first. I am writing them all at once about this issue and then will post them day by day.
thank you, Sue, for having faith in me … as I am writing, my faith in myself is being restored too.

This is a dandy, dada, image Diane. Do you have more in that series?
Why making us wait for those posts? A little torture is good for one?
Soul Fish … I am thinking of writing another post for afte this also … I got a blog newsletter today that got me thinking more on this issue … (smile)
As you will see in the next few days, there are more Abstract Designs …
