April Showers, Abstract Painting

2019

Artist Comments
Abstract spring flowers created in Pat Forbes's signature modernist style. Lively blossoms in strokes of pink, red, purple, orange and green seemingly float on a lavender-grey background. "April showers bring beautiful green plants and colorful flowers that lift the spirit and feed the soul," says Pat.

About the Artist
Pat Forbes is an abstract painter whose aesthetic is heavily influenced by her 20 years as a collector and dealer of Middle Eastern textiles. Pat, who lives on the Atlantic Ocean in Massachusetts, uses a neutral palette to present her interpretation of the world around her– from marshes and mountains to stones and spiderwebs. She is drawn to pattern and design, both of which influence the use of balanced repetition in her work. Pat’s muted colors invite pensive meditation, while her deliberate use of line guides the eye through satisfyingly symmetrical compositions.
