This abstract work presents various shades of light and dark. I achieved layers with the flat surfaces and sharp edges of my palette knives. Every painting has a Voice, inspired by the music played during creation. The Voice of this piece is Coldplay's CDs Parachutes (2000) and X (2005). The work is on 20x30 300 lb cold-press Fabriano paper. Two edges are deckled and two edges are straight, with a 2 3/8 border for easy framing. The actual painting measures 25.5x17.5.
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.

He explores newly learned concepts and unique ways to visualize the cosmos through design. Within his creative process, shapes become symbols of time, guiding the eye and mind to think of dark solar windswept patterns that are balanced and engaging.

Artist Nava Lundy paints a tranquil seascape with minimal representation. She layers rich textures, creating a soft gradation of lavender and pink sky, complementing the water's deep blues and bright teals. Gentle ripples ebb and flow under a radiant sunset, anticipating the quiet evening.
