The Daily Spectrum - Is There A Logical Progression To My Work Or Is It All Random?

If you had asked me this question an hour ago, I would've said it was all random with no rhyme or reason to it.  However, my life seems to progress in the same fashion.  I became overwhelmed with my emotions- anger (red), resentments ( fushia ), jealousy (lime green) -these colors dominated my work with thick brush strokes emphasizing my every move.  When I studied for art therapy, I began to notice what I had done instinctively...self-preservation prevailed.  I expelled toxic emotions without hurting myself or others.

As I've come to heal and mature, I have reverted back to the peacefulness of pen and ink drawings.  My oil paintings flow quickly with pure colors of the spectrum - soul colors.

So, yes, there is a logical progression to my work for whatever reason it needs to be whatever it is on any given day.  I build upon what I did the day before, becoming a better person for it.  The practice is what it is.

Until Next Time,
The Happy Painter,
Jill
