I was awestruck by a painting I had seen at MOCA NY. Out of every masterpiece I saw that October day there was ONE that I could not forget. Now, I could not remember the artist’s name nor could I remember the name of the painting. (probably an age thing…but I’m not elaborating on that…) Well over a year had passed and I was still ‘haunted’ by this painting I had seen. I was compelled to create my version of what I saw. Well, It couldn’t have turned out more to my liking. I felt a ‘rush’ creating something I had instilled such a POWERful visual imprint on my mind.
My painting, POWER WITHIN, had been complete for several months. I knew I would never sell this piece. I did, however, take it to a friend who deals in Fine Old Art just to show him. He took one look and said, “Clyfford Still” and proceeded to pull a book from his shelves. It was a book on the works of Clyfford Still. This was indeed the artist I had seen and this book was filled with wonderful paintings in the style that had spoken to me so deep WITHIN. I was thrilled to finally ‘meet’ the artist and immediately purchased a book of his works. I am anxious to explore more of this POWER Clyfford inSTILLed WITHIN me.
This began my exploration into Abstract Paintings... I hope you enjoy.
