Pulling It Together In Bits And Pieces

Over the past few months I’ve been working on a series of paintings that have playful geometric shapes in an orderly, and not so orderly arrangement.  I haven’t really come up with a name for this series so for the moment am calling it “Bits and Pieces”. The lively shapes and colors are full of fun and I feel fun to look at and enjoy.  Any ideas for a name for the series?  The close up detail photos give a good idea of how each color plays against the next and gives the painting some spark and are happy pieces of art.

I’ve included the YouTube video of the painting so you can see the whole creative process.

    Oh. My. Gosh. Thank you for sharing this! Yes, these are such happy paintings, and what I’d give to have this one on my fireplace! Every time I see your mini’s that I have, they do make me feel happy. Oh how I wish you gave private lessons! Congratulations on your amazing talent and success, Karen! You bring joy to so many!

      Ahhh, thanks so much, Martha. I appreciate your very kind words. I’m afraid my YouTube demo videos are the best I can offer for a glimpse into my process. I can’t seem to work, think, talk, and be entertaining all at the same time. Much of what I do is instinctive and spontaneous and I have no idea how to teach that. Thanks again! Keep at it.
