#contemplativeart

"I have never seen anything so beautiful before. Your paintings have touched my heart in a way I can't explain. I have been looking at them for a while, and I still can't stop feeling amazed. I have been really attracted to the texture of the oil paint. The rough, strong brushstrokes along the edges have caught my eye and have made the paintings feel even more alive. Each brushstroke has created something full of life and emotion. I have felt so inspired and moved. You have captured something truly special, and it has stayed with me ever since I saw your work."

I've been drawing early every morning to clear my head before facing another day of dealing with my Ida flooded basement. Progress is slowly being made with tireless help from my extraordinary neighbor, Hugh. The universe was looking out for me when it sent the McCanns to live next door 😍 : unique oxidized + sanded gelatin silver cliche-verre print : #geometricabstraction #arttherapy #cameraless #alternativeprocess #analogphotography #experimentalphotography #cameralessphotography #uniquephotography #contemplativeart #mixedmedia #nonobjective #patriciabender #clicheverre #contemporarydrawing #abstractdrawing #artecontemporanea #geometricforms #artonpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/CTrrkIjLdNI/?utm_medium=tumblr

here's what I love about making these kinds of drawings, they evolve like a crystal, with a mind of their own 🙂this drawing began as four central, overlapping curves, + then it just grew + grew. the end result is always a surprise. . graphite + colored pencil on gridded vellum drafting paper . . . #drawingonpaper #dessin #abstractgeometry #malerei #drawingnow #geometry #geometricalart #drawing #worksonpaper #hardedge #patriciabender #abstracto #contemplativeart #interconnected #pattern #geometricart #fractal #contemporarydrawing #geometricdrawing #artcontemporain #geometricforms #artecontemporanea #artegeometrico #geometricalabstraction #abstractgeometric #hardedgeabstraction #nonobjectivedrawing #abstraktekunst https://www.instagram.com/p/CHFwpjqFpbq/?igshid=1sb44qgrsgxb3
