It has been proven as fact that art in your surroundings changes your mood. Even in a small area. And it ties your space all together.

When you go to a gallery or a museum to view an exhibition, you will sometimes see an art piece that speaks to you.

It can make you recall a memory of a time or place that stirs some emotion. Or it might change your mood or mindset.

My abstract paintings are mood changing. Viewers most always say they are playful, happy, cheerful, joyful, eye catching, etc. And many are painted in a series of 2, 3 or 4 so that it makes it so much easier to have a cohesive look without a lot of work on your part.

Even though they carry messages about the issues of our day, they impart them in a bold, colorful way using organic shapes, textures, patterns in an abstracted style.

This series of 3 paintings are an expression about our environmental issues we are facing now. Global warming has changed our weather and has resulted in severe, destructive damage to our land. Fires, melting ice caps, severe storms, hurricanes and a shortage of rain has devastated the environment the world over. We need to take action and the clock is ticking loudly.

Whether you hang art about the environment or not, please do what you can in your home or office to carry out the actions that will lighten the load. Recycle what your area allows you to put in the container. You can compost your food waste. Don’t use chemicals around your house or yard that is hazardous to you or the environment. And planting trees and other garden plants help to clean the air. Do what you can. Any action help.

The U.S. Federal Reserve said Tuesday, December 15, that it has joined an international group of central banks focused on climate change (NGFS). This could be a signal that the Fed could use the impacts of global warming into its regulatory writ. This was reported by Reuters.

These 3 paintings below are a good example of expressions about planting in your environment in an eye-catching, playful mood.

These 3 paintings remind you that we need a safe environment but they also cheer up your mood and your walls. Hopefully we can leave future generations a safe environment if we champion the cause now. And put in the measures to try to reverse the current trends.
