Inspired by the wonderful chaos of nature, artist Colette Wirz Nauke paints this floral abstraction in vivid greens, bright pinks, and deep purple. She captures nature's dynamic character with organic shapes and various patterns rendered in her rhythmic brushwork.
About the Artist
Colette Wirz Nauke gathers inspiration from her surroundings and memories and fuses them with her imagination. She has been greatly influenced by Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, especially techniques used by Monet, Cezanne and Bonnard. She tries to use similar approaches in her own work. Colette spends her summer traveling throughout the US and abroad in search of her next muse. When she's not painting, she enjoys visiting art museums and going to parks in search of cherry blossoms in bloom. She currently lives in New York.

Painted while listening to Blues music, artist DL Watson created this radiant abstract using various tools to apply the paint. "The color palette is inspired by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, close to my home in South Florida," says DL.
About the Artist
DL Watson creates semi-abstract paintings with floral and botanical references. Splitting her time between Florida and Oregon, she finds inspiration in the patterns that repeat themselves throughout the natural world. While her paintings are often grounded in her own childhood memories and past experiences, they evoke a beauty that is universal in their natural subject matter. She creates interest and intrigue through the color and movement that she uses to balance her composition.
