Love Is Strange 14312924

30x24 inch acrylic and pastels on canvas in a 25.5 x 31.5 x 2.25 custom maple wood float frame.

This artwork uses principles of composition, design, value, color, texture, and imagination. I was listening to a 1956 song by Mickey & Sylvia called Love Is Strange as I finished painting this different version of an earlier painting where I also used pop songs for artwork titles. I think of the song titles as additional abstract elements connected to the works. It's all fun. De-structure your need for meaning and understanding of symbols to allow the feeling and energy to enter you. Experiencing the painting as a whole becomes its own meaning.
