"The Gale" is a 16x20 inch colorful abstract acrylic (with pastel and graphite in the layering) painting on gallery-wrapped canvas. It comes wired in the back and ready to hang. The painting is about 1.5 inches deep; the sides are painted a warm pale sepia color; frame this piece or leave it plain on the wall. Gloss varnished for protection.

My goals for this piece were to create a soothing feeling for the viewer while still being colorful, cheerful, and delicate. I wanted to use a lot of negative space in the composition to add interest. There is a bit of use of pastel and graphite in the layering as well; to add texture and interest. The dinghy is my nod to my Maine roots and love of old boats. The Gale is coming and engulfing the boat entirely. 

My color explorations in my abstract works aim to bring a sense of happiness and positive spirit to a space. I want the viewer to feel a sense of lightness, peace, and cheer when they observe my work. I view it as my life's purpose to bring happiness to others' homes however I can using the talents God has gifted me with. I also aim to make my work current, stylish and chic to decorate and personalize your home.
