Pantone's color of the year (2017) is one of my favorite colors! This zesty yellow-green has a sense of energy but is just as calm, cool and powerful. Seeing this color in any form, for me, evokes an organic modern freshness that is timeless.
This color of nature often appears in my landscape and abstract paintings. But as with everything, a little goes a long way. Rarely will clients want or need a painting that is heavy in one or two colors. More often it goes like this; a client needs art, they fall in love with a painting they see, it fits their space and they buy it. Other times they fall in love with a painting but they need it in another size. That's where commissioned art gets interesting.

Recently I had three clients with similar art needs. Each fell in love with

a (different) painting and had specific size requirements for their space.
One client saw my original 24"x36" but wanted the same art in a square format. This abstract would easily translate into a square format, and I recreated it for them. Another client saw my original 36"x48" but needed it as a 24"x36" cropped to their specifications. Yet another saw my vertical 36 x 48 but needed a horizontal format in that size.
I enjoy the challenges of creating art to meet the needs and wants of my clients. It gives me a sense of energy and engagement that is different from painting my own preferences. A successful collaboration and happy client is my the goal in creating timeless art.
