LIGHT SINGING, 2020 Mirror in the beginning, the sun still sings. Like light between the cracks of fingers, it sings.
In progress. Still painting and stitching... (Watercolor and cotton thread on paper)
Unfolding into a still life of a thought. Alight with sound. Behind your eyes and waiting in your mouth. Growing flowers in your veins. Sometimes it takes a decade to set in motion. STILL LIFE 2020
Time Lapse... Rain follows, a bloom is unearthed, an echo of which blooms on paper. Painting in progress...inspired by petals and fingers and a rebirth
Runaway in a blurry mirror. Don't underestimate her in an ordinary moment. Not the echo, she's the source. She's in free fall but she feels like a storm moving in...brace yourself
An echo of color, pulling apart or coming together. Dilation. . Sight or sound, I start to gather up each one you left behind. They tremble at the edge of my fingers. On the tip of my tongue. Almost. Not quite. Hesitant. A slight humming, an uncertain blush of color. A drop of water or the entire ocean. A TINT, AN ECHO (2019)
I'm test driving new watercolor paper. This one is lovely to paint on, feels like a dream, but does not work well for lifting...and colors are drying a bit muted (But it looks so vibrant wet!) Any suggestions? Professional watercolor paper that has good lifting qualities? #artistseekingpaper #applybelow
Another painting in progress (one of many). I think it looks like an alien landscape at the moment. It's taking me on a journey... #jennadecker #inthestudio #carveouttimeforart #art #painting #watercolor #alienlandscapes #dreams #visualartistinvisibleillness #visualart #visualpoetry #creativeprocess #womenwhopaint #abstract #artishealing #abstractart #artoftheday #synesthesia #artistsoninstagram #artdetail #artmatters #watercolorinprogress #paintinginprogress #painterly #workinprogress #arentweall
Painting in progress...taking a pause to capture the textures and possibilities. It's easy to forget to take work-in-progress photos, I get too absorbed...but this is why I love watercolor-- look at those colors doing whatever they want with or without me. It's why some artists hate watercolor. This is why I love it. Painting in free-fall. You can plan it out all you want, but the paint doesn't care if you have a plan. Let go. Let it flow.
