Colorful Art that Calms Anxiety
This painting is full of colors that reminds me of the joy nature brings us. The blue in this painting is my favorite shade of blue! It reminds me of blue skies with big puffy cotton clouds or ocean waters so clear you can see right through. The yellow, oranges, magentas and pinks in this vibrant painting remind me of the gorgeous sunsets and sunrises you see at the beach. With this painting I can sense the presence of God in His creation. The sights, sounds and smells of nature surround me: the wind in my hair, the colors reflecting off rain drops and puddles, the smell of fresh air. There is so much beauty to take in all at once. These pleasures are where I go to in my mind when stress, trials and anxiety strike. Try it yourself – I promise, it works! Delighting in nature is a great way to reduce your anxiety level and bring you to a calm place. This painting is made with this intention. Check out my shop for product availability.
New Article Feature
Recently, I was featured in the online magazine: Canvas Rebel. In the interview I talk about my background and what advice I would give to artists who are just starting. I also discuss areas in my art journey where I had to learn how to be resilient (never a fun lesson)! If you want to know more about me and my art story, I would encourage you to check out the article!
Color Changes a Room
Recently, I’ve been thinking about the impact color has on a room. Bright yellows can make a dark room feel lighter. Vivid color tones can make a dull room feel bright. Eye-popping colors can make a sad room feel happy. Think about your living space, what colors do you have on the wall and how does it impact your mood?
I recently finished a very large 3-panel landscape painting for my sister. This colorful painting will catch the eye right when you walk through the door of her home. I think it will set the tone with joy and good cheer right when you enter the house!
I’d encourage you to examine your living spaces. What changes can you make to add more joy and good cheer to your home or office? I think you’d be surprised at how much a bright colorful painting (even a small one) can change an entire room! See the before and after examples below:
