"Spring Approaching Mountain" is an updated version of my last painting. I was unhappy with my final outcome, so I put brush to canvas and made it more to my liking. In the last version, it was simply a field in front of the mountain, trees and around the lake. I decided I wanted more brush in the forefront, so I added and tried to bring background colors forward. As I love the spring...find a sense of happiness and ease in the idea of spring, I wanted to use the brighter colors. Additionally, I wanted to have these feelings...this idea of spring overtake the cold nature of the winter mountain. As a result, I renamed my original painting, as the feeling of the painting changed.
I have been out of the painting loop for a few years. I was focused on my studies and struggling to complete something that eventually didn't really make me happy. I did get my master's in psychology. I thought I wanted to be a psychologist (doctorate), but it became clear that I am simply an artist. I love to paint and I love to write. I am a creative sole who comes from a family of creative people. My youngest sister is a food artist (don't tell her I said that). Why fight the inevitable? I hope you enjoy my painting and if you are interested in reading my works, which are mostly biologically based (natural remedies), please click on the following link. I have a few articles published, but more are to come! So far I have written articles about the health benefits of honey, facebook and depression, ADHD, and hormone imbalances related to weight problems. Feel free to follow me if interested, I would love to hear from you.
