About to Fall

This is the heart to beat. The product of every heart painting that came before. Unbelievably ripe and full and strong. These scans do not do this painting justice. The colors are even more magnetic in person.

The words in this piece read: Tip me over. I am done in. Isn't that a wonderful place to be? On the verge of falling in love. Bursting with possibilities. None of the struggles have come yet. You know they probably will, but you don't care. You can't stop it. Your heart is in charge now and gravity being what it is, you just know that you are falling.

How About to Fall was created: I used palette knives and my fingers to push acrylic modeling paste into the lovely naturally irregular ridges that became the three-dimensional lines of this painting. Once those ridges dried, I used brushes, palette knives, my fingers, and a soft cloth to apply countless layers of color.

About to Fall was painted on a rigid canvas panel. The edges of the panel have also been painted, so this piece looks lovely displayed just as it is on a small stand or decorative easel. It could also be easily and affordably framed as it requires no glass or matting.

SPECIAL NOTE: This site is gigantic. And it evolved over the course of ten years and 2,000 paintings. So far as I know, this is the largest single-artist portfolio website on the internet. Very exciting, but I am a technological boob and I maintain this site all by myself. That means there are glitches here and there. Some pages are outdated. Some formatting looks out of whack on different browsers. You get the idea. I apologize if you run into problems. PLEASE email me and tell me about 'em so I can fix them. Thank you!
