Pink Cupcake

This card whimsically combines two of my favorite styles – abstraction and photorealism – into a brightly-colored, delightful piece that sings with color and imagination.

Fulgent Life, the abstract painting providing the background for Pink Cupcake, was painted in 2006. I spent that summer on a beautiful hilltop in southern France, surrounded by lush views and plenty of nature. My abstract paintings have been heavily influenced by my panoramic surroundings as well as my up-close observations of plants and insect life. I have termed my new series of nature-based abstracts my Anicca series. Anicca is a Pali term meaning impermanence. Like the Impressionists, I am deeply influenced by the changes in the scenery around me caused by the changing position of the sun and atmospheric changes such as wind, rain, and fog. These paintings depict the ever-changing quality of nature; its unpredictability, raw form, and constant flow. This painting depicts the element of earth – rocks, stones, soil, minerals, and the things that live amongst them.
