Love the variety of approaches here. I have to admit, the sunflower montage delighted me. Sometimes art is there to make you feel gooood. There is much to study here. Many thanks.

Glad you liked the variety Sigrun! Thanks for your choices and reasons why. Love that you have added to the conversation about these paintings. And yes, I agree, thinking of Cy Twombly is always a good thing 🙂

I like Jason Bowyer‘s way of capturing light and life with a rather muted palett. I love the way in which he has placed his studio on the edge of absraction.
And I love the funny black line crossing Taylor’s blues!
Libby January’s Seduction makes me think of Cy Twombly – and thinking of Twombly is always a good thing to do.
😉

Carol thanks so much for speaking about Seduced by Colour and adding your own interpretation! Like you, I am drawn to figurative pieces and happy to hear when someone else feels the same way 🙃
