Description
�Love� is a mixed media painting that I created in 2012 for my beloved. I used broad, free brush strokes over a textured under-painting and dripped thin outlines over the heart. There are veins of gold, silver, and black running throughout. The color palate is brilliant � rich in red, lavenders, pinks, and a deep wine foundation. A layered orchestra of movement, wild composition of organic marks, along with dimension and depth serve as a visual metaphor for the fluidity, uninhibited, and unbridled nature of love. This painting appears to pulsate and vibrate with energy and a luscious life force. This multi-layered painting of a heart - in this instance � depicts the iconic symbol of love, affection, and romantic emotion.
