Bold, Vivid and Colourful Cushion

This is a painting with alcohol inks that i used straws to blow the colours around (instead of the normal brushes). It was inspired by the COVID Pandemic we have experienced over the past years and how I see it from start to us all learning to live with it. ALL colours have a unique meaning and they tell their own story . I begin in the upper left corner with a concentration of BLACK and GRAYS. This was the ‘beginning’ when COVID began in the U.S.A. Black is strong, sad, intimidating, dominating, powerful and reflects the unknown. It is ominous, it can be depressing, and often it resembles death. Then come the REDS which are full of compassion for love and life. PURPLES and PINKS surround the reds and represent helping those in need with calmness. Falling down the left side under black is BROWN: which stands for stability in a time of crisis. ORANGE, located in the middle, represents healing rejuvenation with energetic respect towards all our contacts. In the upper right, BLUES are spilling downward with calmness, truth and thinking of other’s needs, often sprinkled with some sorrow and sadness. Under the blues, the GREENS are vibrantly displayed because they represent new beginnings, compassion, and the holistic healing of health. YELLOWS are bright and sunny, happy, and oozing hopefulness. This bold colour creates a time of learning …along with sharing that knowledge with others. Gradually, the little white dots increase throughout the artwork as they approach the lower right corner which is solid WHITE and full of them. White represents peace, purity, and clean feelings as we look forward to a positive and optimistic future after the pandemic. CHECK OUT THIS PAINTING ON POSTERS AND FRAMED ART in my shop.
