Meditative Hues. Digital art created on canvas. August 15, 2024. Afrika Abney 


 I assembled a collection of bright colors, each radiating its own unique vitality and sentiment. The process of merging these shades became a tranquil experience, transporting me to a world where creativity flourished without limits. Every brushstroke on the digital canvas mirrored my inner thoughts and emotions, turning the screen into a lively mosaic of abstract expression.


As I prepared to drift off to sleep, I cherished the peaceful routine of painting. This ritual not only calmed my mind but also allowed me to delve deeper into the art of color blending. The gentle mixing of hues created a serene atmosphere, inviting reflection and introspection.


 In those fleeting moments, the act of painting transformed into a meditative escape, where each color told a story. The vibrant interplay of shades on the canvas became a visual diary of my feelings, capturing the essence of my creative journey. This soothing practice not only enriched my imagination but also provided a comforting transition into rest.

Luminous Moon

  Luminous Moon. Digital art created on canvas. September 15, 2024. Afrika Abney  “The stunning image of the Moon was recorded in digital format last night. On September 15th, 2024, the Moon was in the Waxing Gibbous phase, characterized by its illumination of over 50% but not yet fully illuminated, which would signify a Full Moon. This particular phase is notable for its bright and prominent appearance in the night sky, captivating observers with its beauty. Observers in the Northern Hemisphere would have noticed that the right side of the Moon was illuminated, while those in the Southern Hemisphere would have seen the left side lit up. This distinction is a result of the Earth's position relative to the Moon and the Sun, influencing how we perceive the Moon's illumination. The Waxing Gibbous phase serves as a precursor to the Full Moon, creating a sense of anticipation for the complete illumination that follows. The digital capture of the Moon during this phase not only high...

ColorForm

ColorForm. Digital art created on canvas. August 22, 2024. Afrika Abney “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for.”- Georgia O'Keeffe “The realization dawned on me that through the use of color and form, I could express sentiments and ideas that eluded verbal articulation—concepts for which I lacked the appropriate vocabulary. This unique medium allowed me to convey emotions and thoughts that were otherwise inexpressible, revealing a deeper layer of communication that transcended traditional language. I discovered that the vibrant hues and distinct shapes in my artwork provided a means of expression that words alone could not capture. This visual language enabled me to articulate complex feelings and abstract notions, offering a profound connection to my inner experiences that remained inaccessible through conventional dialogue. It became evident to me that the interplay of colors and shapes served as a powerful co...
