Throwback to TWO years ago when I made lots of #graypaintings ! I still love the whisper-y softness, delicate texture and subtlety of this neutral color. There’s a very sweet emotional resonance that communicates through gray, with its veiled quiet beauty ❤️ Swipe for a photo of the lovely home this piece went to. I couldn’t be more proud... to have friends who want my art is an amazing feeling. Thinking about these special paintings and people keeps me going and reminds me why I make stuff☺️ — #breakingfog #graypainting #allisonjohanson #horizonseries #abstractlandscape #historicvictorian #classicinterior #livingwithart #saintpaul

I KNOW you have been dying to see my kids’ bathroom 😉😉😉so here’s how it looks on a good (but very gray)day! Truth is, it took a pro tile company the better part of the week to revive/repair the original floor tile (1964), and I am pumped it looks this awesome! We saved so much $ not putting in all new... But not everything was refresh-able: custom vanity and other smaller updates coming next week. Oh and the master bath is next up. 🥳🥳🥳 — #cleanflooraward #savetheoldwhenpossible #artistpaintedwalls

Made a few small paintings last week. I like the black vessel shape in this one, giving the eye something to land on, and/or a jumping off point for some of the other deets around it. It also hints at a story, parts real, parts imagined, parts mine, parts yours. ☺️ — #artconnection #sharedstory #somemystery #abstractpainting #livingwithart

Practicing my child-like scribbles and mark-making. It’s harder than you would guess!😅 — #childlikenotchildish #cytwombly #abstractart #learningbyplaying #kidwannabe

Even after a museum-rich weekend of color, I came home and painted 3 black panels! 🥴 — #minimalmonday

Coral Wedge. 1972. Helen Frankenthaler. — Favorite piece from the #kempermuseum in Kansas City.... took in two other art museums and one lacrosse game at KU. Not a bad weekend away. Very rare the museums outnumber the games! 😜#score 💥Check out my stories for a look and quiz about a 1972 op-art series showing at the museum. These 2D sculptures are meant to confuse 🧐and excite 🤪the 👁 👁 of the viewer!
