Decorative art is everywhere and makes for a very beautiful environment, that said it’s story is all told in one glance.
It brightens up a room with beautiful colors or dark colors and makes one happy to look upon it. It is much needed everywhere for the joy it contains.
For example, this beautiful seahorse pillow is a perfect example of a bright pop of color and a delightful creature to make you happy to look at.
In fact so delightful I even used him on my new business cards 😊
No deep meaning, just a beautiful creature with a brilliant pop of color.
A spot of happiness a day.
Now fine art is a totally different story, and as I am dictating this, that's exactly what fine art does, it tells a whole story, a very complex story, a story so complex that you can look at it day in and day out and still discover new nuances, feelings and emotions in it.
Even new characters formed by the positive and negative spaces in the painting.
For example this painting -I am not sure of the exact date I painted it, but it had to have been at least six or seven years ago.
After I completed it and again all my paintings are painted with no intent, no intent to draw , no intent to portray a scene, nothing but just adding color and lines to a blank canvas, the title was instantly in my head as it always is and the title to this painting is "America Awaits With Bated Breath for The End of Fascism in America."
It has a date or time in it that is very apparent by the 331.
Now here is where the complexity of a fine art painting comes into play.
When I painted it the nurse stood out to me, at that time I thought it was just crowd of common people, good people but then after Alex Pretti was killed by ICE , I thought yep that's it, that's who the nurse is.
Now if you look at the nurse, the nurse actually has a blue hat on symbolizing male.
I saw this almost right after Alex Pretti was killed but today for the first time I have the painting out and looking at it, and I also see the symbol in the nurses hat.
It is a symbol of a man with a dog like face reaching out to someone lying on the ground and right behind his head you can see the ICE Gestapo.
Now here is where even more complexity comes in. - to have him depicted as a dog is a very very beautiful compliment as dogs are the most loving kind animals on the planet -even spelling God when spelled backwards.
Now since we have not ended fascism it will be interesting to see what else pops up in this painting as we go along trying to regain our beautiful democracy once again.
And by the way I am absolutely over the moon about the fact that I have no idea what will pop up -how I love the metaphysical with all my heart
