I decided it would be a fun challenge to create an extremely large painting this winter, and I wanted the final piece to be very uplifting, colorful and full of energy. Opting for warm colors and working with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives, I chose this water scene for its energetic flow and yet calming serenity at the same time, and positioned the water lilies and my paint strokes in a circular pattern to enliven that mood.

American Airlines Exhibit

36″ x 60″ oil on canvas
In this painting I wanted to communicate the peacefulness that comes over me when I’m near water, choosing cool blues and purples to heighten that feeling. I also wanted just a hint of vibrancy in the painting so I chose yellow accents in the leaves and along the bank to add contrast and life.
“Current of Tranquility” and several of my other paintings were selected to exhibit at American Airlines’ headquarters and I’m excited about attending the opening reception this afternoon!
