Non- objective Paintings in yellow by Dawn O'Connell-Forte

I enjoy putting my personal thoughts into non-objective paintings, everyone has their own special ideas that come to mind when viewing a painting without specific subject matter. 

Cupido~Yellow #4

Angels wings ~ this comes to mind with yellow and white.

Cupido~Yellow #3

Very interesting to note that colors have many symbolic meanings, yellow being hope, excitement, energy and joy.

Cupido~Yellow Series #2

I had to go two weeks without my laptop computer when my screen cracked, not sure how I managed that now I "handle with care".  I am so glad to get back to blogging and recording my paintings.  This is my new set of colors in yellow, I am contemplating a title for the series.  They are all done with acrylic paint which lends itself to fast drying time.  I do want to try this style with the oil paints.  Very lush and these paintings add great color to any space.

Ballare ~ Series in Red

This is my first painting in a series of red. Color, rhythm and movement should dominate the space and a feeling of energy should radiate throughout. 

Backyard Tire Swing 2

Another day and slightly different hues, catching up with the Fall and now onto the Winter!

Backyard Tire Swing

This is my backyard in fall I have not posted for several months and need get back into the "swing" of things.  I tried to limit my palette to analogous; colors that are side by side on the color wheel.
