The Daily Spectrum - What Makes My Work Worthwhile And Why?

In order for a person to be happy, they have to have all their spiritual needs met.  Art assists in this process by allowing the sign to be understood subconsciously.  A work of art holds order, balance, harmony, simplicity, and peace within it.

A viewer receives where I am as an artist and will accept or reject it, but there was a relationship formed and a drama acted out in the viewers' psyche for better or worse.  My goal is to bring beauty, peace and harmony to the viewer that happiness may be restored in that person.

The Daily Spectrum - The Psychology of Art

Do the pieces of art that I've done relate to one another?  At first glance, I'd even be tempted to say, "No". However, there is always one abstract concept I've always tried to exemplify in my work- beauty.

Beauty is no outside, superficial thing.  Like the Velveteen Rabbit, beauty comes from being loved.  Sometimes in my life, I closed myself off from receiving the love that had always surrounded me.  Those were years when my paintings became flat and colorless.  (I've painted over those canvasses.)

I know in order to produce a good painting, I have to love my subject, love my color choices, love the day and love myself.  If any of these loves is missing, my painting won't be 100 % either.

So, yes, my paintings do relate to one another in that they were all created in love.
