'St. Peter's Reef' is a small painting that I did on a recent vacation to Barbados. The snorkeling on the west coast of the island is pretty good in places and that's where the inspiration for this and some other small scale paintings came from. October is a rainy month in Barbados so I had time to sit on the terrace and experiment. The next step is to try it on a large scale. Should be interesting....not to mention, messy.

Acrylic on paper 8.5 x 6 in.

“As a Feng Shui consultant and integrative designer, I look for specific representation and metaphor in artwork. The first time I saw a piece of Eleanor’s work, [Fluid State] I was struck first by its movement, which can be very effective in energizing a particular area of one’s life or business if it is placed prescriptively. The other aspect which I found potent, is her use of color. Color interprets the ‘five elements’ or what is referred to as ‘agents of change’ in feng shui. 'Fluid State' is primarily whites and blues - the metal and water elements. Metal represents virtue, communication, joy and creativity. Water is associated with wisdom, one’s path in life and finances. I immediately thought I love this piece and what a powerful adjustment it would make for my client.”
