About the Item
This painting is called October because it was completed in October 2021. It is expressive in style and also brings together clippings from my journals, one of my drawings of a Scotland map and also writings, relating to how I felt at the time of painting.
I love to journal and sketch and used previous material I had done in October 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. I always think there is a reason why you do something, however I had no idea in October 2021 that I would be drawing on work and writing that I had done over the previous years. Despite being completed in 2021, this work includes references to at least four years of my life.
I painted this painting without thought of the final outcome and painted intuitively without fear.
In the work there are references to songs that I was listening to and people that have had an impact on my life. This includes reference to an artist called Cy Twombly. I studied his work while I was at school and love the fact that I have made reference to him in an artwork that I created years after school.

Forgot 7
By Frank Arnold
Located in Fresno, CA
"Forgot 7" Oil on Canvas features an abstract form surrounded by characters and a surreal landscape. The canvas is painted with shades of green, blue, yellow, and white.
Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer.
Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
