Hello, good morning/afternoon/evening, wherever you are on this beautiful planet of ours! Here’s “This is What I Suggest”… how many times have loved ones share their caring, unsolicited advice? in our family, doing so is an expression of love. This painting has found its way into my ADVICE ON THINGS series, on my website. She’s full of smooth, fresh color and texture! Happy, Sunny, and full of movement, she has a lot to say! Sending love! 🧡❤️💜💙 #ClaireDesjardins #AdviceOnThings #AdviceOnThingsSeries #ColorfulArt #ColorfulPainting #BuyArtOnline #ColorsOfTheRainbow (at Gore (Québec)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPVXGC3JwVP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Advice on Things is one of my happiest series. The collection name is inspired by the relationship that I have with my mother, who regularly offers up her pearls of wisdom, solicited or not, and I do love her for it. I know that I am loved! Here are two larger pieces: Tell me When (60” x 48”) and, if you swipe sideways, Then You Said Hello (a 72” x 72” dyptich). They both exude a rush of emotion that bathes the soul, reminiscent of my scuba diving days, when I spent much of my time beneath the surface of the water, surrounded by bubbles and colourful fish and corals. Have a wonderful day, filled with joy and exuberance! 🧡❤️💜💙 #ClaireDesjardins #AdviceOnThings #AdviceOnThingsSeries #BuyArtOnline #AbstractPaintingForSale #Dots #Bubbles #PaintingForSale #OriginalPaintingForSale (at Gore (Québec)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHsYgcWJxll/?igshid=14sqawjda2o14

Some Funny Story is up on my website, waiting for a loving home to come and get her… You saw her on my painting table in recent days, as a work in progress, and now you can check her out, hanging on a wall. She is all about texture: some parts look like watercolors, as I watered down my acrylic paints, while other parts are thick, smooth and creamy. I applied a satin varnish to her, to keep her from getting scuffed or scratched. She’s a beauty, and is in my series that I call ADVICE ON THINGS (link in bio). Love you! 🧡❤️💜💙 #ClaireDesjardins #AdviceOnThings #AdviceOnThingsSeries #Orange #Blue #PeriwinkleBlue #Yellow #BuyArtOnline #AbstractPaintingForSale (at Gore (Québec)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPsqN_1Jb3m/?utm_medium=tumblr

Flight Risk is 48 x 48” and now on my website, in my collection called ADVICE IN THINGS (link in bio). Now in case you’re wondering about the title of the painting, it’s because in my mind I am always a flight risk. I am always curious, always inquiring, looking to try new things. I believe that this kind of thinking is inherent to us artists. We are never content to just sit on our laurels, and always looking for an adventure of creativity. Thank goodness I have supportive people in my life (in particular, my amazing husband!!). I am fortunate that way.

Then You Said Hello (a 72” x 72” dyptich) is all about anticipation: the moment before I first met the guy who I am now married to! While we knew of each other from our high school days (he’s three years older than I am, but it was a very small school), we really actually only MET each other at one of my vernissages, back in 2011. We have been together ever since! This painting is on my website now, in the series I call ADVICE ON THINGS (link in bio). Swipe right. 🧡❤️💜💙 #ClaireDesjardins #AbstractPainting #Wave #AdviceOnThings #AdviceOnThingsSeries #WaveOfColors #BuyArtOnline #Dyptich #CompanionPaintings (at Gore (Québec)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDhSjJUpVjV/?igshid=d3rk98y1icpn

Here’s a splashy painting from my series called ADVICE ON THINGS (link in bio): Tell Me When. I wanted to create a feeling of motion, and I used bold colors in this piece, to convey a sense of joy. I hope you have a relaxing, happy day today! 🧡❤️💜💙 #ClaireDesjardins #AdviceOnThings #AdviceOnThingsSeries #Motion #AbstractPainting #Splash #Colors #Color (at Gore (Québec)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDY6A76J5fc/?igshid=sez5qlwg25f7

Check out my exciting new video called “Watching Paint Dry”! Yup, that’s right. That’s how I roll. And to keep pace with my riveting storyline, I added a royalty-free soundtrack to boot. Let me know what you think! My painting will be revealed in its entirety, in the days to come. Suffice it to say that it will be in my series called ADVICE ON THINGS (link in bio). 🧡❤️💜💙 #ClaireDesjardins #AdviceOnThings #AdviceOnThingsSeries #AbstractPainting #WatchPaintDry #WatchingPaintDry #AcrylicPainting #AbstractPaintingInProgress #PaintingInProgress #WIP (at Gore (Québec)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKDkh1JB_T/?igshid=15q2prqsx80ad
