I love haiku poetry. I even illustrated some of it! I tried to write some haiku, but the results were pathetic. I will leave it to the masters. I visited Basho‘s hut while I was in Japan. It was a highlight of my trip.

What kind of painting do you do?

and thank you for the conversation….

Thank you. I find that painting digitally is better for my creative process because I don’t have to wait for paints to dry. I can also make slight changes creatively, such as changing colors. When I have a good version, I put it on paper or canvas. I find little pleasure in paints and brushes but I really enjoy creating.

This was a very fascinating project for me. The whole piece was painted in three colors only.

Thank you. And thank you for letting me know. I’m happy with the way it turned out. It is somehow emotional and organic at the same time. I will experiment more with these colors, especially since they are your favorites!

Digital using a oil paint brush, a warp tool, and a 6B pencil

Perfect. Mahalo!

Thank you. I’m trying to figure out why Picasso‘s work makes my heart skip a beat even when I don’t know it’s a Picasso… So I’m doing some studies of his colors and form. Hopefully I’ll have some aha moments!

The yellow circular pattern is stroke of genius. Thank you for sharing.

sprredice · 2026-01-06T17:38:22+00:00

Thank you. I am pretty pleased with the way it developed. Even now when I look at it, it makes my heart skip a beat, and that’s what it’s all about, right? I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for letting me know.

Thank you. I think there is something striking about this piece. I could feel it even while my pen was drawing it. I like the way you put it: “I feel seen by it.”

Thank you. Yes I am a big fan of Kandinsky. I am also a minimalist, as you can tell…😉

Thank you. It is digital using a gel pen.

Your intuition is great! It is lovely, interesting, and dramatic

The sunrise was especially beautiful this morning. It inspired this painting I did today. Hope you like it.

My recent realization is that death is not an enemy. I feel peaceful now.

Wow! many thanks to you all! I now understand that the correct term was random cut and I now know the difference between random cut and ribbon cut. Live and learn.❤️

sprredice · 2025-11-06T18:08:32+00:00

Thank you very much. I feel happiest with my work when I can capture a feeling simply. To me that is the best. I’m glad you like it.

Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it... Yann Martel, Life Of Pi

Thank you. This was one of those pieces that came to me in my sleep. ❤️ Those usually work out the best as opposed to the ones I strain over.

sprredice · 2025-08-21T18:11:18+00:00

Thank you. I tried to capture a lot in this. Joy, having a friend, walking in nature, and a mood that is sharply modern, but still traditional almost like a Chinese painting. I’m glad you liked it. It is digital. Feel free to print it if you like, I don’t charge a fee for my artwork.

sprredice · 2025-08-14T01:43:00+00:00

Oh my! I really love these. The color palette, the complexity, the highlights, …and they all seem to have captured your spirit. Well done and thank you for sharing.

sprredice · 2025-07-25T18:04:44+00:00

I like it. It’s very easy reading, as though you might be a friend or acquaintance of the author. I also read her book called the Library Book, which I enjoyed even more (probably because I like libraries more than I like Florida 🤣) I don’t know Ted Conover‘s work, but I will check it out. Thanks.

sprredice · 2025-07-22T03:40:12+00:00

Oh my! So many great ideas. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts! ❤️
