Ragged Rainbow Storm


This is where I definitely feel my experience living in NYC is taking effect. Here to me the piece feels very urban, beautiful, wintry, and ragged. To me it's like a wonderful and hopeful winter snow storm.

I work with Kindergarteners in Manhattan and I've found a lot of inspiration from them, they are always painting rainbows and really use these unabashed colors, they really just paint from their gut and don't care about the consequences. Usually their work is pretty stunning to me, it has color composition and combinations that adults would never usually dare to use. I tried to recreate what I find from them everyday--some sort of purity with the colors, I really tried to keep it to just the primaries and give it a little wonder that I always see in my kids work.
