Inspiration

Kaleidoscope

 

My recent piece, “Kaleidoscope”, is a print of one of my father’s paintings, cut into pieces with the addition of my artwork using paint, paper and pens.

My piece: Kaleidoscope

It feels as if we were working together in spirit.  I let the lines and curves find their own way as I cut and placed them on the background.

This not only keeps a wonderful memory alive but gives me a sense of warmth and peace.

His original is hanging in my hallway. I didn’t understand how much my father influenced me in the art world until I found this piece hidden in a garage for 40 years and studied it. The dots, curves and lines look like mine! So I absorbed a lot of ideas regarding space and color from my own father without even realizing it. So absolutely wonderful!
