"Creative Thought" (sold)





















(sold)


This quote is like a commission to all creative people to open up the window of their minds, pay no attention to the internal critic, and let creative thought blow in.

The dominance of vertical lines in this piece is offset by the expressive brown marks running vertically and the use of white glazed diagonally over the window. The horizontal and expressive script also help. As you may have noticed, I do trend towards ethereal looks. Soft pastels, blurring of edges, and the use of white are great tools in achieving that look. If you like that look, it is always instructive to notice how other artists create that mood.
