Auras



"Fruit in a Purple Bowl"

If you have been checking out my paintings over the last six months or more, you may have noticed that I often paint an aura or energy field around the subject. I'm not sure why I do this. What is it that compels artists to attach to these kind of themes? I just know I like doing it and it feels right.

A couple more paintings are in the works, and I'm thinking it is time to do another self-portrait having done the last one in 2005. So there is a busy week ahead of me and I'm loving every minute of it!

  8. Hey Patti, I just love all of your paintings...I love that they are big, bright, bold and so colorful. Every time I come to your blog I want to run to Michaels and grab lots of paint off of the shelves and just see what I can do!

  9. Hi Patti,
    I love that you're inspired to paint auras around the focal point of your paintings. Wow! Talk about "Painting from the Source"...I'd say that's a big signature of the Source!. Are you familiar with the book of the same name, by Aviva Gold? And I love all the bright, bold colors...and your style of creativity. Thank you Patti!
