newest addition to my "Fall Apart Confetti" series


I decided on the name "Fall Apart Confetti" mainly because I fell in love with the lyrics of the song "Golden Days" by the Damnwells, and there's a line in the song that says "Fall Apart Confetti".. I believe (& it's really just my own thoughts & opinions) that it's the idea of letting go of all inhibitions, even when there's a lot going on around you, and just living in the moment and bringing your own well-being & happiness to the surface. Falling confetti (for me) is almost a transcendent meditative state of good, wholesome, well-being that brings you light. And with this series of paintings, I hope to capture that same feeling in every piece I take on.
30"x40"x1.5"

  1. Can I ask why you decided to entitle this "Fall Apart Confetti"? What does that exactly mean?

  3. I figured--one of my favorite songs ever. I was searching for what other people thought the line meant to them and you are the only person on the web that had used that line. Absolutely love that song! Thanks for your two cents.
