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.

LR's Travels of '61

After rummaging through my late Great-Aunt Charlotte's most memorable keepsakes, I stumbled upon something that I have truly become infatuated with.  Inspired by travel documents & receipts from all over Europe in the early 1960’s that belonged to my Great-Grandpa Le Roy Pierce, as well as Charlotte.  Some receipts entailing the weekend of her wedding which took place in Belgium in Aug ’61.  As well as a map of Belgium from that time period.  The piece that came of it is this crazy abstract juxtaposition, "LR's Travels I" acrylic on canvas, 24"x36"x1.5".
