This painting is about joy and the ocean, which may sound funny since it's abstract. I painted it while staying at a cabin, overlooking the ocean in Depoe Bay, OR. You may have noticed most of the shapes I use are round -- you'll hardly ever see a right angle. These rounded, amoeba-like shapes stem from the energy that is the flow of the water, and the floating forms (think kelp) that bob and weave within it. Bright colors are my absolute favorite. I think of bright color as a sort of mental color therapy. I also try to use it strategically, balancing one bright color, with another similar diagonally on the page. About the idea of joy in this painting. Joy is what my mind really wishes for. It is what I believe in, and desire for everyone in my life, including myself. So the radiating forms, combination of bright color and explosion factor is the feeling of joy I am trying to portray. Finally, why the title, "Muffy 2"? (This is the sister painting to "Muffy 1", by the way.) The real answer is incredibly whimsical: I love the name.
