The ‘Stained Glass’ series includes this incredible piece. “The title just sort of came to it. The lines and the colors evoke a flowing lotus to me.” Danielle describes the process, “This was another painting originally and the underpainting here adds texture and complexity. I left some of the colors from before to bleed through, showing the path. I wanted to emphasize my ideas about the fluidity of stained glass and also the opaqueness.” The playfulness of the lines and light color help add to this feel. It is both dreamy and solid in the approach. The blue ink is thin and allows the white to show through in places exposing brush strokes from beneath. The light pink lines are actually thick with texture. A wonderful abstract painting that is both complex and simple.
