ANTICIPATION was delivered to its new home in Archdale, NC on Sept. 2, 2017.
This painting depicts how we are always in process, ever-changing and evolving while moving forward in anticipation of our destiny. The inspiration for it came from my love of aqua and green and a desire to use them while trying out a new texture product. The name came to me while the painting was in progress as my anticipation began to build.
ANTICIPATION consists of more than 22 layers (I lost count) of acrylic medium, paints and glazes. A new product I tried resulted in the first few layers being rough and difficult to work with, just like we can be at times. As more texture was applied, sanded and refined and more paint layers added, the rough edges and underlying flaws began to disappear.
The gray textured background represents difficult times we experience when we are discouraged or struggling while the aqua represents the calm that washes over us like streams of water when we find peace. The lime green signifies growth. The red and gold streaks stand for breakthroughs and ideas that propel us forward.
This abstract has the versatility to hang either vertically or horizontally depending space requirements.
