Voyage of Discovery 24″x36″ Oil and Mixed Media

Voyage of Discovery was inspired by the captivating yet understated colors and shapes that gradually appear in the early winter landscape as the seasons change. The title comes from collage elements in the piece that read “Life is a Voyage of Discovery”.

Featured Abstract Oil Painting: Secret In The Sky

Secret in the Sky is about gaining perspective on your life.

When I started this painting, at first I couldn't connect to it. I felt too close to really see it, so I couldn't finish it. Instead, I turned it to face the wall.

A month later, when I finally turned it around and looked at it again, I started to see how the circles and negative space played off of each other.

It looked a little planetary, a little otherworldly. Like a photo of space. So I added trails of light around the circles to harmonize them and bring them into a balanced coexistence.

The “secret” in the title is about gaining perspective on your life. Sometimes, when you look up into the sky, it makes you realize that your troubles aren't really all that big in the vastness of the universe.

Every once in a while, we all need to get that kind of perspective. It makes all the difference.

 

Secret In The Sky is painted in oil with gold leaf on a 20" round canvas.

You can see Secret In The Sky, and other new paintings on my website, cynthialigeros.com. Thanks so much for looking!

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.

You can see Blaze of Noon now at Clayton Lane Fine Arts in Cherry Creek.
