Whispers of Light ✨

Featured

As an artist, I often find myself deeply connected to the pieces I create. Each brushstroke carries its own story, and sometimes I like to sit with a painting for a while—reflecting on the process, making sure it feels complete, and letting the piece breathe before deciding what comes next.

Whispers of Light, my newest 18×24 abstract, is one of those pieces I took my time with. I blogged about it back in May, sharing how I paused in the middle of the night and waited for morning light to guide me. That quiet moment became part of the painting’s journey.

With its luminous layers of turquoise, rose, golden peach, and warm earth tones, this piece carries a sense of calm and gentle radiance—like a breath between thoughts. I’ve truly enjoyed pouring my heart into it, and now it’s ready to step beyond the studio.

It’s always a little bittersweet to move a painting from my studio into my shop—like closing a quiet chapter—but it also brings me so much joy to imagine it finding a new home. I love the thought of its soft glow becoming part of someone else’s story.

✨ Whispers of Light is now available in my Etsy Shop: Flowing Waters Art Shop

If this piece speaks to you, I’d be delighted for you to take a closer look. Thank you for being part of my creative journey and for supporting handmade art.

Wishing you a day filled with light and inspiration!

New Colorful Abstract Paintings from the Studio

Lately, I’ve been diving into playful designs and new exciting colors, and I just finished two new abstract paintings that I’m excited to share! Each piece is a little world of movement and energy, inspired by my love of color and spontaneous mark-making.

One of them boasts deep, rich browns that immediately made me think of dark chocolate (because, let’s be honest, chocolate is always on my mind! 🍫). The other takes a softer approach, with soothing blues and gentle pinks that bring a sense of calm and tranquility. Together, they form a beautifully balanced duo—one bold and indulgent, the other serene and dreamy!

I can’t wait to get these up in my Etsy Shop, which will hopefully soon🤞. Until then, I’d love to know—what colors are inspiring you lately?

Wishing you a creative and colorful weekend and thanks for stopping by! ✨

The Impact of Andy Warhol on Pop Art

Posted on by

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) was a groundbreaking artist who revolutionized the art world with his bold, colorful, and often controversial works. As a leading figure of the Pop Art movement, Warhol blurred the lines between high art and popular culture, turning everyday objects and celebrities into iconic masterpieces.

From his famous Campbell’s Soup Cans to his striking portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Warhol’s work challenged traditional ideas of art, embracing mass production and consumer culture. His use of silkscreen printing allowed him to repeat images, mimicking the visual bombardment of advertisements and media.

Beyond painting, Warhol was a filmmaker, publisher, and creative visionary. His studio, The Factory, became a hub for artists, musicians, and cultural influencers, shaping the avant-garde scene of the 1960s.

Warhol’s influence remains strong today, proving that art doesn’t just belong in galleries—it’s all around us, from advertisements to social media. His legacy continues to inspire artists to experiment, challenge norms, and see beauty in the everyday.

Warhol once said, “Art is what you can get away with.” His fearless approach to creativity reminds us that art has no limits—it’s about seeing the world differently and making it your own. Whether you find inspiration in bold colors, everyday objects, or the rhythm of pop culture, Warhol’s legacy encourages us all to embrace creativity in unexpected ways.

Hope you enjoyed today’s post—thanks for stopping by! 😊✨
