The New Home for my Oil Painting Resolution

I absolutely love it when one of my collectors shares a photo of my artwork hanging in their home! I am thrilled to see how my oil painting Resolution complements this amazing decor! 

Knowing that somebody truly appreciates my art makes it all worthwhile. It's wonderful to see my work displayed with pride.

Resolution is a 30"x40" oil painting on canvas.

I also have many other abstract oil paintings on my website, cynthialigeros.com, and on UGallery.com. Feel free to contact me for information about art prints or commissions.

Featured Abstract Oil Painting: Autumn's Hollow

Autumn's Hollow was inspired by a rainy night-time drive in late summer. The glow of tail lights on the windshield reminded me of a bold skyline of autumn leaves.

It made me want to experiment with the idea of circles changing colors, to represent the transitions of life -- from one time in your life to another, from one season into the next.

Autumn's Hollow is 12" x 12" and is currently available at Ugallery.com.

I also have other abstract oil paintings for sale on my website, cynthialigeros.com, and on UGallery.com. Thanks so much for looking!

One Crazy Way to Build Art Into Your Home (You Won't Believe It!)

This 20-foot-wide mural is just a small detail
of my abstract oil painting Luminous Night,
printed on recycled concrete tiles.

Art doesn't have to be something you hang on the wall. It can actually be the wall.

This week, my oil painting Luminous Night was turned into a 20-foot-wide mural, printed on concrete tiles made of recycled glass, using a $6 million printer.

The mural is on display in a tile showroom here in Denver.

This is just one example of the interesting ways you can incorporate art into your life today.

So be brave, think outside the box. Look for new ways that you can build art into your everyday life.

Don't be afraid to experiment!

Penumbra Sunset now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts in Cherry Creek

Penumbra Sunset 24 x 24 oil on canvas

At the end of the day, just before sunset, all of the colors around us become magnified for a brilliant moment, just before they fade into the twilight.  The ancient astronomer Johannes Kepler created the word "penumbra" to describe the elusive edge of an eclipse, where the light struggles to escape being blotted out by the darkness.  When I painted Penumbra Sunset, I wanted to paint about holding onto the edge of the light, the edge of hope, keeping the beauty alive inside the darkness.

You can see Penumbra Sunset now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts in Cherry Creek.

Deepest Secret now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts in Cherry Creek

Deepest Secret 24 x 24

Deepest Secret was inspired by the e.e. cummings poem "I carry your heart."  I've always believed that you have to carry on in what you believe in, not only for yourself but for the people you love.  Sometimes, that can be incredibly hard -- but doing it defines who we are.  Deepest Secret evokes the cool blues and brilliant reds of a winter sunset, a time when the darkness and cold close in, and the crucial moments when we remember the people that inspire us to carry on.

You can see Deepest Secret now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts in Cherry Creek.

Blaze of Noon now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts in Cherry Creek

Blaze of Noon 36 x 36

The endless skies of Colorado constantly inspire me.  I embedded fragments of a Robert Frost poem in Blaze of Noon because I wanted to be reminded that everything we do, everything around us is a journey.  Our lives are not about the motions of day to day living, but about the lengths we will go to and the inspiration we find around us every day to keep us going on the journey we need to take.

Bare Winter now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts

24 x 24 Oil on Canvas

Bare Winter is about hope.  The stark image of leaf-bare trees in the snow inspired me to paint about the long wait for our chance to bloom.  The icy blue light of winter is set against flashes of sun, while the trees are caught in between, motionless, suspended between the deep cold and the distant warmth, clinging to their chance to break free and embrace the future.

You can see Bare Winter now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts in Cherry Creek.
