It can be difficult to find enough wall space to accommodate large canvases. It's also pretty tricky to paint all encompassing feng shui solutions for the needs of a gazillion places I've never been.
These two constraints are the inspiration for a new painting series. All canvases will be 10" x 10". Each canvas will be designed with a particular element in mind - wood, fire, soil, water, or metal. The canvases can be used individually or grouped with others to create a perfect feng shui solution specifically for a particular location.
Of course, I will be guinea-pigging the idea in my own place :)
Here are the first few Illustrator sketches that I will turn into paintings:
The wall space I'm looking to fill with art is in the "reputation" area of my place according to the bagua. This is a fire area. Rose, yellow, and red are all fire colors and work with the existing color scheme of the room. Triangle is the key symbolic shape for fire, hence repeated throughout the designs. Metallics are good for me in general, so I've worked silver into the color pallet (this room could use a little more metal anyway :).
I've got a few new tricks up my sleeve too that I'll unveil when I post the completed installation!
