Go to my site: cheryljohnsonartist.com I am honored to be selected to the Saatchiart The Other Art Fair Brooklyn Nov. 8-11 -2018-Come See Me.
Go to my site: cheryljohnsonartist.com Painting:  Acrylic, Latex and Graphite  on  Canvas . Cheryl Johnson Artist I have always had a love affair with Joan Mitchell and finally I just let loose and emulated her style. What a joy to simply use energy to paint. Joan Mitchell is known for the compositional rhythms, bold coloration, and sweeping gestural brushstrokes of her large and often multi-paneled paintings.

I hope they inspire and uplift, as well as enhance your interiors.  I believe that our homes should be sanctuaries that surrounds us with comfort, color, beauty and the things we love.  I loved creating the colors and brush work in this work.

Art is More Than About Money

Art is More Than About Money Cheryl Johnson Artist Why do people paint?  They have a passion to create.  Just look at the Impressionists.   Paul Gaugin was first a father, a stockbroker, then an Impressionist and when he came into his own he was a working artist living in Tahiti, doing what he loved. "Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them." Paul Gauguin Often artists express with a brush what is difficult to express with words. I paint because I love the process and the way I feel in creating. There is an energy and joy that comes over me and I get lost in the finding. It is a must do element to my life. Yes I love when people enjoy my work and want to purchase the work for their home or business. I have sold both in galler...
