Using Art Nouveau Color Palettes on my Mandala Paintings

With the loss of money, homes and jobs, people have been living with a lessene...

"The Journey of Faith and Love" Original Painting by Jeanne Fry My newest painting, "The Journey of Faith and Love", was meant to express the path of life. In an Art Nouveau style I brought together the symbolic elements of the circle of life; the honey brown golden swirls represent the sun, the turquoise swirls represent the moon, the flower chalice holds the moon which represents the Universe, and the blossoming flower petals represent our personal...
