This painting has been hounding me for almost a year. The trees were taken from a fading print out of a photo of mine, but the house form appeared, insisting on its presence there. Sometimes when I leave a painting, it is hard to return for fear of destroying what is appealing in order to resolve the whole. Having entered again and come back out with a more complete painting, I feel revived myself, not just the painting. Still no name has been decided but am posting it anyway, just to give it a chance to be.
Color affects everything! My work is about color relationships and the energy that color can generate...paintings on silk and on canvas

hello Maggie - catching up here - I really like both these paintings - the second one especially - it feels a bit off and I like that - the wrong pieces fitting together and working somehow - wonderful - copal arrived - will mix tomorrow - will let you know :)
sometimes you have to go with the flow and let what wants to appear stay in the painting-- nice paintings
Another lovely landscape, Maggie. I like the composition and quality of light. I also think the landscape work will cross pollinate with the abstract painting in interesting ways.
yes, letting it be....and coming to it again with new eyes.
i've read some of your postings, off on a residency, and somehow that house in the trees is where i imagine you have been while painting. interesting.
lovely.
Greetings,
The trees and the moon painting reminds me of the California plein air style painting of the 1920's and it is nice to see that you have tried a more controlled painting, not to say that an abstract painting cannot be a controlled work of art.
Thank you for sharing, Egmont
Thanks all for coming to visit and leaving your words with me. It's been a dizzy week...wish I could be hiding in that house in the woods. Working on the title...maybe "Night Light". Blessings to all.
This second one seems to fit in it's very own way...moon here, trees and house...beautiful zig zag shapes...I like it very much!
