Acrylic on paper

Signed on the back.

Dreaming in Emerald expresses an energy of an uplifting nature. These colours are said to be offering a sense of growth, prosperity and purity. Perfect for a healing space, office or home.

And I find they just make me happy every time I look at them. :-)

The Dreaming in Colour series is an evolution of my work in abstraction, using an expressive movement of thin washes and an exploration of colour. When I come to paint I endeavour to place the critical mind to the side to allow a sense of intuition and openness to come forward in my awareness. I let my hand and eye be drawn to whatever colour is 'beeping' me at the time, loading the brush and allowing the sweeping marks to form on the paper. It is then a matter of a 'zen like' repeating of this process until the moment arrives when a felt sense says, "Stop". I put down the paint brush and review the painting. Sometimes the brush is picked up to make slight corrections of colour, but in general the piece is finished in an open and relaxed moment in time. The length of which I am not aware because I am so lost in the dreaming of colour.

As you can see from the images, I am suggesting this piece could form part of a diptych with Emerald #2, or hanging with another complementary artwork which you can view here:
