About the Item
Artist Comments
;My Purpose; is part of the ;Still Waters Love Is...; series. This piece speaks to the layered and varied aspects of love and finding oneself. The bands of color breaking through are there to show what is just beneath the surface. The artwork was created in many layers using brushes, knives and other tools to apply the paint. This painting is on a gallery wrapped canvas with finished black edges. It comes ready to hang.
About the Artist
Julie Weaverling’s abstract paintings are organic yet deliberate. She approaches her work with a well-developed idea, then begins applying paint. Julie experiments with transparent and opaque layers that metaphorically represent the human condition. She focuses on the idea of compartmentalizing: humans separate their work from their secrets, their friends from their traumas, creating many layers to the self. “What is hidden is sometimes more revealing than what is seen,” Julie says. Through the scraping and layering of color, the artist asks the viewer to consider what lies underneath.

- Top of the WorldBy Patricia OblackLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
The inspiration for each and every painting is brought about through music ; every piece has a ;Voice; listed on the back which indicates the music involved in the process. When you receive the painting, read that information, purchase or obtain the music from a library etc. , listen to the music ; see what it inspires in yourself. Abstract is always open to the interpretations of the viewer. My work is acrylic with palette knife, there is a clear low sheen varnish on the front as well as the edges. Each piece is wired ; ready to install. Brace/frame on the back is 2; wide ; made of MDF. The masonite is cradled by way of this frame, edge painted black, face is varnished with low-sheen polyurethane. Diptych composed of two panels.About the Artist
As a child in the 1950s, Patricia Oblack sat in front of the television and learned to draw with Jon Gnagy’s New Television Art Instruction Book. The exercise led to a love of art, and in 1962 she begged her mother to purchase lessons from Art Instruction, Inc. in Minneapolis. Within a few weeks, a box arrived with art supplies, including her first palette knife. Patricia finished every lesson, and was in good company–another student of the school was renowned Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. From that humble beginning, Patricia became a lifelong artist, currently creating dark, earthy abstracts, which she paints with the same palette knife from childhood.Category21st Century and Contemporary Abstract Abstract Paintings
