Root chakra auras: Copper, grey, green, red acrylic fantasy landscape abstract:

Art & Illustration

One for you to interpret. I was at first lost for words. Initially  I liked the combination of reds greens, yellows and grey. Then I decided it looks like a cluster of spirited trees beside a lake.

The trees look like they are giving off their warm aura and in this fantasy landscape it is very possible that their aura is visible. In eastern medicine, the colour of the root chakra is red -Chakra – Muladhara and that is about safety, survival, grounding. According to http://www.chakras.info/chakra-colors/

How nicely surprising that my fantasy landscape lake trees are grounding or at least signify being grounded.

Continuing my experiments with a painted grey background this fantasy landscape. I have no other words for it except that the marks are mesmerizing remind me of fine gold jewel like trees and a turquoise blue martian (perhaps) moon.

When looking at this its surprisingly easy to bring more images to from your imagination as you try to fathom out the landscape that might exist in the hinterland.

 

I feel I’m getting better at adding vertical and horizontal lines which is a real departure from the usual sweep curves across the page.

I’m calling this collection the fantasy acrylic landscape.

From an overnight thought of contemplating what painting would I have if I had a metal tarrarium and industrial chic furniture with rose gold metal legs.

So I created a collection of seven pieces within this theme. I was surprised to see how each piece appears to fit together nicely. Bit like the kind of wallpaper you’d see on 60 minute makeover.

 

Fan Brush Stroke Painting II: Inspired by M

These verticals, I think are curious brush strokes. And I am starting to call these pieces the Missoni influence. Since 1980’s I’ve loved the Italian knitwear designer’s collection.

I have to admit that Missoni does come second to my love of everything designers Guild or maybe they come third if I consider Andrew Martin. More on that in a later post.

You know I once bought a lot of Missoni fabric (of an amount I could afford) from the Shepherd’s Bush Fabric shop where all the fashion students go to buy for their cloth for their end of year shows.

Love their new collection for 2018 HERE

I digress. So here is the rest.
