Repose in Blue IV - 36 X 12 Acrylic on canvas - Hyacinth Paul

Repose in Blue are a a set of panels done to experiment with new textures on canvas. I am happy with the results. These paintings are fit for a spa or a bedroom for a peaceful atmosphere.  I made this earlier this year. It is made with acrylic paints and different media to increase the textural surface of the canvas.

Repose in Blue IV was done created using brush strokes.  I was quite happy with the results.  The photograph depicted here do not do justice to the beauty of the painting itself.  It is beautiful as a set.  I generally like doing large paintings so when my canvases are small I tend to make a series of them together so they can occupy a considerable space on an empty wall.  One of the mistakes people make in decorating is to put a very small painting in a large space.  My advice is to group smaller paintings together so they are pleasing to the eye and the impact they make will be sharp.  Nothing wrong in buying a small painting though!  By all means buy small if you love a painting, just find a nook where the painting will shine.  Put it at eye level.  Group it with other things like a clock or a a memento.  Move it around till it finds it happy place.

My blog is really a collection of my thoughts on the effect of  color in art on the health and well being of society.  This initial study  will help me get seed data upon which other studies will be based upon.  If you fill out this questionnaire and send it in to [email protected] you will be entered to win an original painting of mine on November 30, 2020.  If you sign up for my monthly newsletter you can stay abreast of news pertaining to my study, my art and some ideas that form food for thought.

The predominant colors in this artwork are sea green in its various shades with a touch of blue and yellow.  The size of the original artwork by itself is relevant for a cozy nook.  If you prefer a larger size, I recommend buying the entire set of five panels or the prints from the site that allows for purchasing several items not just prints.  Also, sales of any of the items help the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as 100% of the profits are donated until Jun 5, 2020 and 25% thereafter.

Please note that the sale of this original art will generate funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to help raise money for cancer research.  I was introduced to the work of LLS in 2017.  This organization that has climbed up 30 points in one year on the Forbes charity navigator.  It is run by highly competent scientists and physicians who I have personally met.  They believe they can cure cancer within our lifetime, and I agree.  Study and look at the progress they have made since their inception nearly 70 years ago! The cure rate of blood cancers in 1960, the year I was born, was 3%.  Today it is 94%. 

The research continues to happen at a feverish pace all over the world to bridge that gap.  I raise money for Aparna who sadly lost her fight to cancer.  We are losing many more as we speak whose lives have been cut short by these dreadful diseases.  Just within the last week we have lost two of the greats, Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor, to this deadly disease.  Every life is precious.  It is our responsibility to help fund the fight and propel discoveries.  We are the product of such discoveries.  We enjoy a longer life expectancy because of the discoveries of people who came before us.  I am a product of scholarships that were provided to me when I was a young, bright-eyed, enthusiastic PhD student who put in nearly 15 hours a day toward research.  So I ask you unabashedly, on behalf of these scholars who toil, to help find those discoveries that will finally beat cancer.
