About the Item
"Blu" is a bold, sensual figurative painting by contemporary artist Michelle Thomas, offering an intimate exploration of feminine power, vulnerability, and self-discovery.
At the heart of this piece is a striking woman rendered in rich tonal blues—ultramarine, cobalt, and indigo—her skin glowing with a quiet, almost mythic intensity. Her deep, expressive eyes and regal beauty embody a femme fatale archetype, yet with a softness and mystery that suggests layers of emotion beneath the surface.
Set against an abstract background streaked with radiant gold spray paint, "Blu" pulses with visual and emotional contrast—between cool and warm, restraint and freedom, shadow and radiance. The composition is richly textured, with layered paint and brushwork that give the piece a tactile, almost living quality. These layers aren’t just visual—they speak to the process of personal evolution. Just as a painting builds depth through what lies beneath, so too does emotional growth emerge from complexity and time.
This painting was born from Michelle's own struggles to fully embrace her feminine spirit and sensuality. By leaning into that discomfort, she transformed it into power—creating Blu as a symbol of reclamation, strength, and unapologetic beauty. The result is a deeply personal and poetic statement on the journey of becoming.
Why “Blu” Stands Out:
Raw, Personal Expression
More than a portrait, Blu is a moment of transformation captured on canvas—a deeply human image of strength through vulnerability.
Symbolic Texture & Layered Meaning
The richly layered surface mirrors emotional development, suggesting that growth—like painting—happens over time, through depth, struggle, and courage.
Evocative Palette & Presence
The deep blues convey mystery and calm power, while streaks of metallic gold bring warmth, light, and spiritual elevation.

About the Artist:
Michelle Thomas is a contemporary painter whose work explores the emotional and visual power of feminine identity, sensuality, and transformation. With a background in expressive abstraction and symbolic portraiture, Michelle creates art that speaks to personal evolution, strength, and self-acceptance.
"Blu" is a deeply personal work born from her own journey—a path marked by tension and eventual embrace of her sensual, feminine self. As she worked through those layered emotions, she built the painting with rich texture and meaning. Each brushstroke is part of a greater narrative: that growth is never flat—it comes through layers, mistakes, and hidden depth.
Her work is collected across the U.S. and known for its vivid palettes, poetic symbolism, and emotional honesty. Michelle invites viewers to look beneath the surface—to see not just the image, but the story it carries.

""Cool Sparkle" Mixed Media abstract with textural rich blues, teal, aqua, gold
By Nancy Eckels
Located in Laguna Beach, CA
"Cool Sparkle is a beautiful luminous abstract painting by Nancy Eckels. It exhibits the bold colors and textures that her work is known for. Using sculptural texture with beautiful ocean blues, contrasted with flowing textures of teal, aqua and gold highlights, this painting creates both a peaceful and dynamic mood.
Nancy became a full time artist only after ending another creative career. She moved to California to attend college, and happily worked in television for many years. She was a director on the CBS daytime drama, "The Bold and the Beautiful" when she decided to move on to full time painting. Given her family background, it seemed like the most natural transition she could make.
Nancy was born in Kingston, New York, but moved to Utah at age 7 when her father was transferred for his work. With her family, she spent her summers exploring many of the national parks, and natural wonders of the west where her father loved to fish and photograph. He instilled in her a love and appreciation for the beauty and colors of nature, while her mother taught her many of the lessons of art.
Nancy gained quite an art education through "osmosis" while being around talented family members. She has learned much from working with several experimental abstract painters, including Katherine Chang Liu, Carole Barnes...
