"Anchored" ($60.00)

(adjusted price....$60.00.....mounted on a 1.50" depth clayboard)

Everyone has a routine. By thoughtfully planning and improving a daily routine, anyone can move their dreams forward. It's the routine that firmly anchors us to the habits that make our dreams come true. Enjoy your routine today!

Abstraction in artwork gives the viewer the "essence" of a concept. In this piece, the overall mood and feeling is reminiscent of the coast. The colors, texture, and division of space are the elements that create the "beach" feeling. It wasn't necessary to paint the waves crashing on the shore or having sea gulls realistically painted in the sky.

These are actually my favorite type of paintings to create because of the mystery involved. The repetition of the vertical lines not only reminds me of the picket fences I've seen at the beach but echoes the concept of a daily routine...something happening over and over again.

Abstraction is a fun and exhilarating way to explore the elements and principles of design. Everything does not need to be rendered precisely. Think about the "essence" of any subject and it will open up many creative doors for you.
