"Muse Series - Yellow" is chaotic and abstract, carrying a sense of strength and individuality. It's one of several paintings I created as part of my Muse" series.

In each Muse painting, I plan the face and let everything else grow intuitively. Florals bloom over her eyes like the emotions we sense before we can name them: feeling without seeing. Is she the muse, or is she being inspired? I've never decided.

Original watercolor + pen painting.

"Muse Series - Foxy" is abstract with playful touches: fox ears and a fox tail worn like a shawl. She began as one of several versions for a commission, and when the client chose another, this one stayed with me as part of my Muse series.

"Muse Series - Pink" is abstract and expressive, built from organic line work rather than florals. She's one of several paintings I created as part of my Muse series.

In each Muse painting, I plan the face and let everything else grow intuitively. Here, that takes the form of flowing lines, like the emotions we sense before we can name them: feeling without seeing. Is she the muse, or is she being inspired? I've never decided.
