In 2010 I started one of my abstract art pieces one evening. As I completed what I thought was the first phase of the work, Bill proclaimed that it was done and that I shouldn’t add anything.
Complete in it’s simplicity (one colour!) I agreed to give it a try. I posted it out to all of you and the vote started. Although some agreed that I should add to it, most of the feedback was that the piece was finished and it should be sold as is….ummm, it is for sale….’Indigo Convergence’ )or as we refer to it, Big Blue!).
Abstract Art Pieces – Big Blue
But being being stubborn, I still wanted to work further on the piece, so I created two abstract art pieces. This one based off of Big Blue…the brother.
It’s been in my studio all this time waiting for me to complete it as ideas on what to do come and go. But at long last and with a great leap of inspiration I give you the finished piece. ‘Traveling Outward’ (and, it may not look like it, but there is a dot somewhere in the painting….)
I love creating abstract art pieces that move you, that provide energy, movement within the painting and that can cause an emotional reaction. Well, it appears Big Blue or Indigo Convergence nailed that.
In the various shows it has appeared in it constantly gets talked about (you can’t miss it as it’s 5 feet by 5 feet!) and if you stare at it you almost get a case of vertigo!
This piece however feels like an extension of it’s big brother. It doesn’t have quite the same visual effect, but at the same time it’s calming and walks the eye outwards from the center to the edges creating it’s own energy and movement.
It’s getting it’s own debut showing coming up this weekend at the FrameSource Art show. You are welcome to come and browse through several artists who will be highlighted at this show. I have many different pieces on display, and will be in attendance for the morning of the opening.

Hi Karen ,
This is just a quick note to say that i have seen your painting Indigo Convergence in a house that i have just built and i could not take my eyes off it . It is an amazing piece that has to be seen , it feels like it is actually pulling you into the painting . It is a piece i would love to own. Great work
Bob
Thank you Bob, the house you did is amazing, I was told it’s the largest in-fill in Calgary. I’m not surprised! It’s spacious and has a great modern feel. I was so pleased to be able to showcase some of my larger paintings in such an exclusive location. Indigo Convergence really does have a bit of a hypnotic effect. It is for sale if you are interested.
