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.

Until next time,
The Happy Painter,
Jill
