This is set of four note cards with white envelopes. The images on the note cards are reproductions of four different original acrylic paintings on masonite boards.
Koi:
Koi fish is a beautiful fish that symbolizes friendship, loyalty, love and fortune in the Japanese culture. In the Chinese culture, it is an auspicious symbol of prosperity, good fortune, spiritual and material advancement, energy, abundance, love and loyalty. Koi fish or paintings of Koi in homes are said to attract prosperity and abundance. In Buddhism, Koi is also a symbol of courage.
A Dream Gone Wild:
Most of the painting was done using a palette knife to give the painting an added sense of movement and dimension. What starts off as rocks and grass turns into a wild ocean of surreal colours. If looked at closely enough, animals start to take form under the eye, from dolphins, to serpents, to birds, to the bunny, to the hidden owl in the tree! Every time you look, there is something new to find that captures your attention.
Spring Meadow:
This is an original acrylic landscape painting (10" x 8") on masonite board. It depicts a beautiful abstract landscape. The inspiration for this piece was a meadow of colourful flowers and grass, and a natural movement that I sought to capture. The best way to create movement is to emphasize big strokes and overlap them in different directions. I have for the most part used brushes over any other painting tool, yet when I went to pick up my brush, the palette knife sitting on the table amidst the other brushes called to me. I decided to follow my instinct and try out a new style and I am very pleased I did. This painting not only captures the movement and the colours of a meadow, but expresses a sort of peaceful longing.
In Bloom - White Lily:
an original acrylic still life painting of a white lily on masonite board. It depicts a beautiful White Lily in bloom. The painting was entirely painted using a palette knife to give the painting texture and dimensions.
