Stormy Seas, Abstract Painting

By Dorothy Dunn

Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
"Negative space interplays with the deep hues of poured color - evocative of the crystalline blue and dark gray of waves against white foam and blowing mist at sea," says artist Dorothy Dunn. An ethereal abstract seascape with layers of blue, green, and yellow, punctuated with black. "This painting was created using multiple raw and controlled pours of transparent and saturated acrylic paint on canvas to achieve layered depth and interest."


About the Artist
From childhood on, Dorothy was always eager about painting. Her grandfather encouraged her to graduate from a finger-painting enthusiast to a more mature and serious artist. Dorothy’s approach to her abstract artwork entails pouring paint in transparent layers to create sweeping colors across the canvas. Regardless, she manages to stay true to her childhood roots: “To this day, my clothes and hands always reflect the colors I am working with,” says Dorothy. “And I once again rediscovered the joys of finger-painting with my children!”

Blue Red Abstract Painting on Canvas 55x78", Birth of an Idea, Collectible

By Irena Orlov

Located in Los Angeles, CA

Birth of an Idea In this work, I explore the moment when something intangible begins to take shape—when an idea moves from feeling into form. I’m interested in that transition point, where clarity hasn’t fully arrived yet, but energy is already present and undeniable. The composition is built through movement—fluid, overlapping gestures that collide and dissolve into one another. Color becomes the primary language here: warm, saturated reds and corals carry intensity and urgency, while cooler tones create space, balance, and breath. For me, this piece is not about a fixed image, but about emergence. The forms remain open, shifting, almost resisting definition, as if they are still in the process of becoming. There is a tension between control and spontaneity—between intention and instinct. I allow the painting to evolve organically, responding to its own rhythm, much like an idea that reveals itself gradually rather than all at once. “Birth of an Idea” is about that first spark—the moment before structure, before logic—when creation exists purely as energy, possibility, and motion. This is one of the first pieces from which the series began. Red Blue Abstract Colorful Acrylic Painting on Canvas ( Rolled) , Birth of an Idea SPECIFICATIONS: - Artist-grade canvas. If you need it stretched the size would be 51 x 74"- 1" deep wooden support bars - Gallery Stretching & Wrap (No additional charge) Original - Signed Certificate of Authenticity included. About Artist Irena Orlov, innovative, contemporary fine artist, architect, designer, illustrator, photographer is known for creating captivating works which are full of energy. Extraordinary versatile in her mediums, Irena could never imagine life without art. She is an artist whose path in the fine arts has led her to a unique expression of mood and color.

Her images begin spontaneously and give expression to personal creativity and insight. Each piece is unique in design. Irena often prefers to think of herself as a craftsman, constructing, or interpreting imagery and messages from her conscious and subconscious mind. Irena Ukrainian born lives and works in Los Angeles. STATEMENT I've been drawn by the magical beauty behind fine arts and design since childhood. Having a successful carrier in architecture and design for quite a long time, I began to deal with fine art. I began to look for new ways to express my emotions and feelings. The process of creating art gave me what I wanted - endless ways of expressing myself. During the creating process, I don't limit myself to a specific style or medium therefore my art is mostly represents mixed media. My creating process is based on my emotions and my mood. I'm very spontaneous. Today I might use photography to convey my feelings...tomorrow I might paint to express myself. My work is infused with spirit and energy I felt at the moment I created it. It encourages viewers to interpret it their own way. My art evokes different feelings in the audience depending on their individual experiences and memories. I was and continue to be inspired by the beauty of the world around me and can spent hours to explore it. The rapid world at which is everything changed so fast, I discovered that I will never live in quite the same world. Life unfolds only in moments. Capturing moments that are full of emotion is the key to my art.
