Switch it All Off

Switch it all off, go outside, and immerse yourself in green. - April Marie Mai [Abstract impasto painting in background, mainly light green with yellow, blue, teal, orange, and white in it, in small rainbow-like swipes of paint.]

I hope you get a chance to enjoy the weather or a greenhouse sometime soon!
Having time being surrounded by plants is so important to my mental health.

Sunny Day Impasto Painting

Sunny Day Impasto Painting

A horizontal rectangle impasto thick paint acrylic abstract painting in green, yellow, blue, orange, metallic gold, light blue, purple, metallic white, pink and white. The top left corner has more gold and white, the main color is green, and a beautiful bit of yellow sweeps down from the top of the painting, toward the left, then curls back up toward the top right, creating movement. It feels like a sunny day with a light breeze, sitting on green grass. The colors mix around. Each swipe of the palette knife is different and contains multiple colors.
