Colorful Inspiration
Three new paintings for you to enjoy with some notes from Micol
about her process during their creation.
The originals can be found in our SHOP, and several Canvas Print options are available.
All Things New
The first in a series of three painted in May of 2020, All Things New began like most paintings I create, with no initial plan because I always like to allow the painting to emerge on its own terms. Ultimately this painting brought a lot of joy to my creative process. There is a woman in the center of this work with her hand outstretched. Her hand resembles a flower and all the creation around her is a joyful world created as an outgrowth of her efforts and work.
All Things New. 2020. 12 x 16 inches. Acrylic on canvas board
The Shift. 2020. 11 x 14 inches. Acrylic on canvas board.
The Shift
This was a challenging painting for one specific reason; it was a shift! In the process of painting this work, there were several times the painting was near completion. It was beautiful and yet for me it felt a bit too familiar. “I’ve done this painting so many times before,” I thought. I wanted something different - a change in psyche. As I moved through several iterations of the painting I kept blotting out beautiful scenes and creating new ones. After five scary pallet knife obliterations, I was ultimately satisfied with this final image. It speaks for itself, and in the end I realized I had never painted anything like it before. It was new, unfamiliar territory for the Bird who landed there.
Place of Love
Place Of Love. 2020. 11 x 14 inches. Acrylic on canvas board.
This painting is about separating Love from Pain. It tells a story of pure love, a safe place with no hint of distress; a story of truth - separating out the lies. This beautiful place is for you to explore on your own, may it convey a story of hope and inspiration as you walk through.
A note for those who study my works: Many of my paintings share threads of creative imagery. For example, if you look at the right lower corner in Place of Love it is reminiscent of the beautiful space in Celebration, which I painted in 2016 (found in Portfolio: Life Forms 2). One may consider that both these paintings reflect a similar space.
