SPRING!

AH! It's finally arrived. The winter "hybernation season" is officially over and now...time to prep for a new season of growth, SPRING. Time to get outside! Time to unclutter our spaces and purge and clean! The trees are budding (...or depending on what part of the country you live in, your trees may actually be in full bloom.)

Stepping into clothing retail shops it's obvious that spring colors are once again IN as the shorts and tank tops are again for sale.

Change of the seasons brings a sense of newness and transition. Spring happens to be one of my favorite seasons as it's a sign that summer is RIGHT around the corner!

Here in our home we just finished freshening up our living room space. Hung new paintings, rearranged furniture, vaccuumed the deepest corners of the carpets. May your spring be refreshing for you as well.

It's also time to get back into the studio and create some new works. In the mean time...go, be do.

Onward and upward for the arts!

Facing the Sun

Paintings that depict the human figure have been around for centuries.Yet there's a specific common art term that I prefer to use to describe works that depict the human figure in a classy, respectful, artistic manner
...Figurative.

As I paint abstracts, time and time again each piece seems to take on a life of it's own and this piece was no exception.

"Facing the Sun" measures 7.75 inches by 7.85 inches and is acrylic painted on repurposed wood. Have a figurative collection? VERY affordably priced at $39.00, this piece would make a fabulous artistic addition to your collection!

Wine and Art

Wine traditionally is thought to be paired with food. Yet Rachel contends that wine can also be paired brilliantly with art and conversation! This painting is indicative of both.

Titled "Table for Two" it is meant to be representative of two people sharing their friendship together while appreciating art and wine.

Rachel likes red wine. And she would love for you to add this special piece to your art collection.

007 Inspired Art?

Original paintings are in and of themselves mostly cool, and the inspiration for new creations can come from just about anywhere. This new piece was inspired by none other than James Bond and all those crazy-wild opening credit sequences we've all seen while watching 007 movies. As a sidebar, I learned recently that the Los Angeles County Museum of Art hosted an exhibition of images from the opening sequences of over twenty James Bond films produced.

Energy Exchange in Art?

Interaction between people is a daily experience. This painting is about just that, the exchange of energy between two or more people. Rachel imagined this exchange to appear similarly to the imagery of a moving sound equalizer (after all...energy exchanged between two or more people is moving too). Painted in hues of purple, silver and orange this mini-abstract would be a great addition to your art collection.

What Others Say about Rachel's Art:

Reuse, Replay, Art

Double meaning of the word "replay" in that title. Here's why. I grew up on a farm in Northwest Ohio. Chickens and fresh vegetables was our game. And I spent a LOT of my playtime hours in the big red barn! The hay mound was my playground of choice. Hours and hours were spend rope swinging, climbing around and exploring every nook and cranny of this lil piece of history. Ye 'ole red barn was in much better shape back "in the day" than what's depicted above, but at least you get an idea of the size of this creature.
Chocked full of memories for me, it's pretty sad to see it falling down.

What better way to honor the big red barn than to create new paintings with its wood as the canvas?

This painting is one of many to come...this one here titled "Justice and Liberty for All." I have a lot of respect for the American flag and what it represents to me. There's just something about the link to farm country and the American flag.
