Resting Heart Rate is a 60”x24” representation of my contentment with consistency. I painted it in stages that were evenly spaced out as I waited for one area to settle and I worked on other paintings. Each time I came back to the horizontal canvas, I added a new layer using a different technique or medium. I progressed with spontaneity rather than with a detailed plan. That’s the free mind vibe that has prevailed with each painting in my show. The two “constants” with Resting Heart Rate are my warm color palette throughout and my sense of rhythm as I painted. It was a joyful process and reminds me of the strong happy heartbeat I feel every morning when I awake. Being an artist is good for the heart and soul. This one really needs to be seen in person to appreciate the detail and flow.
