"Separation from Harmony" is digitally altered based on an acrylic and resin original. This piece expresses the internal upheaval that can happen when the universe throws a plot twist in your plans. Everything changes in a moment and creates these sharp edges that we get thrown against. Once things settle down the calm will return. This represents the chaos. 20x20 inch Digital Art #abstract #abstractart #contemporary #expressionism #aesthetic #HomeDecor #interiordesign #flowing #ethereal #physics #psychology #introspect #science #magical #explosion #flower #colorful #photooftheday #digitalart #amynordby #digitalartist #abstractdigitalart #digitalartistsoninstagram (at Meriden, Connecticut)

“Shrouded Reality” 11x14 inch mixed media on wood cradle. The reality here is the shapes in the background. The organic like textured veil on top of this that obscures our view of the full picture of reality. Leaving us only glimpses of what is there. The image changes depending on our perspective. This is figuratively and literally a deep piece with 5 coats of resin. Have a thunderous Thor’s Day! #Texture #mixedmedia #art #abstract #ThorsDay #AmyNordby #photooftheday (at Meriden, Connecticut)

Self portrait circa 2001. 22x28 inch acrylic on canvas. The ultimate face painting! After being stood up, for what felt like the zillionth time, I decided to released my feelings the only way I knew...I painted. All the sadness and anger went into this. Using my face, arms, and hands to apply paint to the canvas before taking up the brush for the details. I find it funny now looking at it and finding fractals everywhere within this piece. Guess what I was striving for was right there in front of me the whole time. 🤔 anybody thinking of ruby slippers right now? Or is it just me? Have a great day and hope you find out the power was always within you ❤️😊 #abstrastexpressionism #OnlineArtist #OrganicArt #sadness #StoodUp #pain #Selfie #SelfiePaint #me #pain #fractals #texture #Tbt #AmyNordby #ArtistLife (at Meriden, Connecticut)

“Clown of deception” 6x8 inch mixed media on mixed media paper. Dated 6-24-2019. #175 of the 365 day Art Challenge. Today’s piece inspired by my realization about clowns. I have disliked clowns since I was a young girl. No matter how cute they might look I had a fear of them. As far as I know it stemmed from an incident at the city fair. There was a parade that I went to see and one of the clowns pulled me into the parade, separating me from my family. This childhood experience scared me. I view them as liars. They deceive their true self behind a mask of illusion. I guess finding out why I had feared them for so long helped me get passed the fear. I still don’t care for them but I don’t want to climb the walls to get away from them anymore or beat them with a baseball bat. Let’s see what tomorrow brings 😂 $15 plus $5 shipping & handling. PM to get this original piece.

“Protecting the child” 6x8 inch mixed media on mixed media paper. Dated 6-23-2019. #174 of the 365 day Art Challenge. Today’s piece inspired by desire to protect a child from harm. I see within this a parent protecting the child. The middle fractal formation is a heart representing love. The heart covers both figures as if to say love itself is the protector. Love makes us stand in harms way to protect the ones we care about. Let’s see what tomorrow brings 😂 $15 plus $5 shipping & handling. PM to get this original piece.

“Exploding anxiety” 6x8 inch mixed media on mixed media paper. Dated 6-22-2019. #173 of the 365 day Art Challenge. Today’s piece inspired by anxiety. Dealing with anxiety isn’t easy.

“The multicolored freedom parrot pondering where to go” 6x8 inch mixed media on mixed media paper. Dated 6-21-2019. #172 of the 365 day Art Challenge. My thoughts filled with rainbow colors all day. Fruits and vegetables when I was doing my Friday shopping. The red of the peppers, yellow of the squash, green of the cucumbers…bright and colorful. Later, my daughter wanted me to paint some wings for her. Reds, purples, greens, and blues were the colors she wanted. So naturally when it came time to create my daily piece I grabbed the colors of my day. It turned into a multicolored parrot with fancy gold feathers that jet out. I would say today’s piece inspired by the colors of the rainbow. I find a bird represents freedom. Let’s see what tomorrow brings 😂 $15 plus $5 shipping & handling. PM to get this original piece.

“On her way to take on the world” 6x8 inch mixed media on mixed media paper. Dated 6-20-2019. #171 of the 365 day Art Challenge. Today’s piece inspired by my daughter’s hair. Children’s hair is so beautiful in the sunlight. The sun makes it shimmer when you look at it. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood that special quality gets lost. This piece is of a young woman about to take on the world. She is a force to reckon with. Bold and confident stepping forward into the unknown.

“Anxiety and depression at night” 6x8 inch mixed media on mixed media paper. Dated 6-19-2019. #170 of the 365 day Art Challenge. Today’s piece inspired by what it felt like to battle depression. I always felt worse at night as if I needed to fight my way through my personal demons until sunrise. I have no idea why nighttime was the worst. I don’t have those battles too much now but I remember them well. Let’s see what tomorrow brings 😂 $15 plus $5 shipping & handling. PM to get this original piece.

“The eagle that morphed into a dragon” 6x8 inch mixed media (bombay inks and acrylic) on mixed media paper. Dated 6-18-2019. #169 of the 365 day Art Challenge. My daughter wanted to pick my colors again so I let her. Her color choice sparked an idea for another piece that I am eager to try. Love how that works. One thing leads to another and so on. Today’s piece started with her choosing the colors while I chose the medium… Bombay inks. At first I saw an eagle soaring into the night. It went with how I was feeling at the time. The past few days had taken a toll but I was gaining my power back and flying. After discussing with a friend about what had been happening with me, the eagle I had seen changed. I began to see a dragon. A force to reckon with. I do love how the subconscious works. I would imagine I will be seeing the eagle again at some point.

“Growing Toxicity” 6x8 inch mixed media on mixed media paper. Dated 6-17-2019. #168 of the 365 day Art Challenge. “The only winning move is not to play” from the movie War Games sums up how to handle toxic people. Today’s piece inspired by negative people. It is my interpretation of how their negativity can creep in and take over. Best to walk away… or run. Life is too short to waste it being around that type of person.

“You are not my monkey and this is NOT your circus” 6x8 inch mixed media on mixed media paper. Dated 6-16-2019. #167 of the 365 day Art Challenge. We have many choices in life. We can choose where we live, what we do to pass the time, we choose our friends, food we eat, where to go. What we don’t choose is our family. We can choose how to deal with them. Let’s face it, some people are just filled with drama of their own making. If they don’t live with you then they are not in your circus. You can choose your circus and who plays in it. Today’s piece inspired by those drama monkeys that try to be part of your circus. I don’t remember who said “if you see crazy coming, cross the street”. Great advice when you don’t want the drama.

“Polly just wants a darn cracker” 6x8 inch mixed media on mixed media paper. Dated 6-15-2019. #166 of the 365 day Art Challenge. My daughter had a rough time today. To cheer her up I let her pick which colors I used in my daily art. It made her happy to have that control. You see, she let fear get the better of her earlier. She was afraid of taking that last step off of the ladder and into the pool. Nothing I said could persuade her to take that last step. She didn’t believe the water wouldn’t be above her head. How many times in our lives does this happen? We are afraid of taking that last step. That wonderful leap of faith we all must take to grow. Today’s piece inspired by that a leap of faith. I made the impression using the colors she chose and we both saw a bird. I took things from there and made it a fun one. She wanted to paint her own painting so we went outside after so she could. Creating art turned the day around. Let’s see what tomorrow brings 😂 $15 plus $5 shipping & handling. PM to get this original piece.
