Bright paintings on wood and canvas. Www.carlabrownart.com
I am inspired by simple things in life. Casual conversations, animals, people, trees, sky, humor. Bright colors are truly my friends! It is what makes me feel alive and energized. The use of an unexpected color combination brings a smile to my face.
Painting on wood feels natural. I enjoy collecting, cutting, sanding and adding color to it. The texture, smell, and weight are always unpredictable. Allowing the imperfections of the wood to speak to the viewer adds a sense of where the creative process originated, and might even be a gentle reminder to be content with the imperfections of life.
