Do you believe in fate?
Do you believe in fate? Or in creating your own future? Or a bit of both?
“Actions are the seeds of fate. Deeds grow into destiny.” – Harry Truman. Seems he was ‘a bit of both’ kind of guy.
This new painting was inspired by the idea of creating our own destiny . . .

New inspiration!
While walking with my sister along the High Line trail in Manhattan, we spotted these cool looking flowers. I especially liked how some flowers were much taller and stood above the rest.
-
- I wanted to capture the strength of these tall flowers. Also, I wanted to keep pushing myself with new watercolor-like techniques using acrylic paints. (See all those drips?)
-
- In this next step, I added many smaller flowers and aimed to get the feeling of movement.
-
- To test a design, sometimes I snap a photo and look at it in black and white. A good painting will look good even without the colors.

Done!
