Necessities (Intuition)

(The image continues around the staple-free sides so you can display your new artwork unframed. These smaller vibrant canvases look great in groupings! This is a digital photo, the scans above are more accurate.)

I am having so much fun with these! This colorful little gem is part of an ongoing series of small 4" x 4" paintings. The series features beautifully colored abstract paintings each with a single word and a small symbolic image. Every piece depicts something I consider to be a necessity for folks seeking a balanced and peaceful existence.

You know those little fluttery feelings that sometimes zip through your stomach? When you have an unexpected urge to act? To do something seemingly unreasonable or at the very least unplanned? Trust those feelings. Your intuition is a gift. A way for you to connect with the forces that unite us all.

I am hopeful this fun playful painting will bring a splash of color to your walls and will act as a gentle reminder to trust your gut. Listen to your inner voice. Help your life unfold. Don't fight it.

How Necessities (Intuition) was created... This is a traditional brush painting. There are many layers of color built up over time. I did use a dental tool to scratch in accent lines on a few of these pieces. The fine details were created with an 18/0 spotter brush.

Necessities (Intuition) was painted on a gallery-wrapped canvas with .75" staple-free sides. This piece would look wonderful displayed unframed directly on the wall or sitting on a small display stand. Or it can be easily and affordably framed as it required no matting or glass. Please note: These tiny canvases are not always a perfect square and may not be stable sitting on edge.
