Reworking an unfinished painting - part 2 🌷 This was a painting that wasn’t finished and was just sitting around in my studio, so I decided to bring it back to life. After my first layer of making it more neutral, I realized it needed some more interest. I wanted the eye to be drawn in enough to take a step forward and look more closely, so that you’d discover something you didn’t see when you first looked at it. My goal for this second and last layer was to create lots of subtle marks and colo

A large 60x60” painting - part 2 🌷 This is the second layer of this painting. I decided to add some collage and give it some subtle pops of color to make it feel more complete. I first went over the whole painting in a wash, which is one of my favorite techniques because it ties the whole painting together, deepens the textures, and creates that worn-wall feeling that inspires so much of my work. I had a lot of fun playing with subtle decisions in this last layer for this painting. I had to ask

An abstract horizontal composition 🌷 I started this 36x36” painting by prepping the canvas with a textured layer of white paint. I wanted to create an uneven surface that already had some movement and depth. From there, I added spontaneous marks with a China Marker to loosen me up and give myself a starting point for my paint. After that, it was all about mixing colors on my palette, though I also like to mix directly on the canvas. This was just about getting a first layer on the canvas and gi

Making a 12x12 painting with color pulls - part 2 🌷 I had wanted to start a painting in a new way than I usually do, and decided to use what I like to call “color pulls.” I just take paint straight from the tube and drag it down with whatever tool I have on hand, like an old credit card, a palette knife, or a Bondo spreader, to create these stripes. This was all about experimenting and seeing what happens. For this second layer, I had to decide which areas on the painting I liked and wanted to

A 48x48” color field painting - part 2 🌷 I really love the texture that’s happening on this painting, but I didn’t want to be afraid of covering it up. I wanted to put subtle layers of thin color within the same blue color scheme and just see what happened. I ended up watering down my paint and using saran wrap to pick up the paint and lay it on my canvas. I repeated this and then used a trowel to spread out some of the paint. The effect became like worn walls, which I just absolutely loved, an

A 20x24” painting inspired by Helen Frankenthaler - part 2 🌷 Even though Helen is known for staining and pouring, I realized flat shapes were more true to my own work, so that’s how I wanted to move forward with this piece. I started with a few collage pieces, then used my Painting Guides to test marks and compositions before committing. From there, it was all pens, markers, and instinct. I love it when an inspiration piece transforms into something that feels fully my own. 🏷️ Helen Frankentha

Creating a black and white painting series - part 1 🌷 Sometimes I like to keep it simple and stick with just two colors. It’s such a refreshing way to reset my brain and let go of all the noise that can come with overthinking. Working with a limited palette allows me to really focus on shape, movement, and negative space, without the distraction of multiple colors. It helps me get back to the basics of what makes a piece feel balanced and expressive. For the start of this series, I started with
