Original Art Abstract Mixed Media Painting
by Elis Cooke

In search of my mother's garden, I found my own." Alice Walker

Series: Musings

Series Statement:

The Musing series are my daily paintings. I start my day in the studio with an open mind working with what arrives, somewhat like working in an art journal. This series is a daily reflection of current obsessions and explorations. It includes studies in form, composition and colour, experiments, sketches and detours from the main path.
The Garden group is focused on studies abstracting the metaphor of garden.

Size: 6x6x1/2 inch
Support: Stretched canvas. Sides painted.
Media: Mixed watermedia.

NOTE: Colour Accuracy can VARY depending upon monitor settings. Photos are taken in natural light with no flash.

The best advice I've come across about creating is "To create what you want to look at..." I love to look at work that is ambiguous and suggestive; work that leaves room for the imagination of the viewer. Thus, I aspire to create a spirited body of work I define as "otherly". My art is ever evolving based upon recent experiments, research, discoveries and inspirations.
Thank you for taking the time to look!
