I ADORE the work of artist Ky Anderson. There's an unpretentious and unfettered quality to these paintings that I just love. It doesn't feel contrived or over-worked in any way. It's also a beautiful balance of the representational and the abstract. And what's not to love about the colour palette? They're so pretty (in the best sense of the word).

letting things be

I was seduced by the small details of paintings I was looking at last night at a gallery opening. I had to capture them. What they all have in common is the moment when the artists stepped back and allowed the paint to react to water (or other solvent). It's succumbing to the unexpected and just letting things BE. There's so much beauty in that and lesson in there somewhere.
