Wow! It’s great to blog from my Phone. I can share with you my travels and art as I go!

This is a picture I took on a country road on the way home near Ocala, Florida. The trees are beautiful.

Lily's room after makeover

Lily was ready for a change to her room. She suggested a few colors and away I went with a custom mural. Adding handmade colorful leaves, I attached them to make the mural come alive. Whites, and a pop of hot pink and fur, brought this dark bedroom to life. It’s retro, fun and unique!

Waves of Summer

A M Y D O N A L D S O N — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 23:36:07 +0000

The Summer has washed in, walking on the beach I’m excited about all the jewel tones I see in the salty water. This is my latest piece and I love the continuous movement, and mysterious layers that are representative of human nature moving through life.

Pigments with Purpose

A M Y D O N A L D S O N — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 20:11:50 +0000

Today is a new fresh day. I am ready to dive into my powdery pigments. They are like colorful candy to my eyes. I love to mix new colors on the canvas with my fingers and work the texture layer upon layer, like a cake. Each layer chisels the stress and frustrations of life away from my heart. I think about my family and friends and those who are in difficult times.
I will then finish the piece with energetic bounces of color that dance though the painting representing laughter and joy. With each painting I want to bring life and love to hurting hearts and struggling souls.

Natural Urge.

I experience the world visually. Using layers on the canvas I create depth and texture. Looking at old walls and natural stone I am inspired by the natural earthy colors. Today I worked with my natural pigments and created a unique painting in a square format.
