Artists, let me ask you a question. When you paint, do you find yourself mesmerized by the way the paint is moving across the canvas? Not in an I’m a painting genius kind of way, but in an omigod paint is the most beautiful, wonderful thing ever, way? Just me, then? Ooookay. Seriously, it is the gorgeous movement and blending of paint that draws me to the work of artist Francesc Ruiz Abad.
You can see the gentle stroke of the brush, imagine it filled with paint, the colors mixing on the palette first and then the canvas. Light, luscious, cotton candy like movement through the surface of the paint. Colors bleed beautifully into each other, creating a sense of light and softness.
Paintings like these make me want to paint! And run my fingers over each canvas.

quite delicious!
Don’t you just want to eat them up?!
Lesley, I often wish that I could capture a stroke and keep it forever. In acrylics.. yeah that will work. In watercolor, not so much. Watching colors meet and marry is so fascinating. Then they dry and you have something completely different. Still lovely, but different. Happy day to you 🙂
I love that turn of phrase, Sheila “watching colors meet and marry”. Appropriately poetic!
Thanks 🙂 And thanks for sharing Francesc!
