I have clock works to install in the large red circle...ergo the title of the painting.  But, that is still under debate in the theater of the mind.  The gold surrounding the "thought' bubbles are actually gold leaf.  The 'thought' of this simple painting came to me when I saw a billboard on the way to a family affair.  It was five large black bubbles with a ? and one word....THINK in the largest bubble. Nothing else,  just black and white and ?THINK.   It reminded me of 'thinking bubbles' in cartoons.  Simple but, I wondered what it meant because that was all that was on the billboard.  What could it mean?  I had no clue.   That billboard  made me think about a lot of things on that long drive home.  Then an ? idea ! came to me.   Obviously my conclusion was........I thought it needed COLOR!  Thanks for Visiting!

Vibrant warm tones of the Southwest are the focus of this painting.  A highly textured/tactile painting with a black and turquoise under painting give this piece depth.  Not noticeable are the raised gold and silver leaf accents.  (1.5' X 4.0') Canvas is gallery wrapped over a custom built frame.  This painting can be hung in any direction.

P.E.N. Studio - FABstract from the ♥

As a child I have always associated bright and bold colors with happiness and joy.  A box of Crayola Crayons could transform a dull drab day into a day of sunshine.  A great deal of my work involves vibrant colors, textures and musical 'tones'.  The vibrant colors and textures are incorporated so that my sister, who is legally blind and deaf can touch the paintings and see the 'joy and happiness' in music. Vibrant Vibes FABstract is auditory art in blazing colors!

It is my goal to show her the joy that music brings into my life with a painting.  She may not be able to hear the 'music' but with my 'Tactile' Paintings she can at least see and feel the music in a different way than we do.  A 'dual sensory' painting for the visually and hearing impaired.  Listen to the art with your eyes....P.E.N.
