Abstract Art Daily Artsy Mixed Media Paintings

Microcosms. Ashely Peifer.

One of my favorite things about the West Coast that I didn’t grow up with on the Florida coast is tide pools.  Mr. F and I spend lots of time exploring and examining these little microcosms teeming with life.  Tide pools always seem so precious, not just because of their importance to the environment, but for their temporal state.  They are only exposed for a certain amount of time, then once the tide comes in, they disappear again.

These mixed media paintings by Minneapolis artist Ashely Peifer remind me of the multitudes of creatures living together in pools between the rocks.  Elements float in and around each other, patterns intersperse and lay one on top of another like seastars clinging to barnacles.
