bolt from the blue

An abstract painting by Mike Lauderdale

This vibrant and dynamic abstract painting, titled "Bolt From The Blue," is a creation by incarcerated artist Michael Lauderdale. The piece showcases an energetic blend of red, green, orange, and white hues, layered with expressive brush strokes and splashes of paint. The movement and intensity of the colors convey a sense of emotion and vitality, making the artwork visually compelling.

Lauderdale used acrylic and oils on rescued Manila paper to create this piece. Inspired by the energetic and emotional song from Meg Myers, he set the track to repeat and allowed the music to guide his creative process. The result is a captivating work that reflects the rhythm and personal significance of the song to the artist.

What Mike said of the piece :  "After the fun of creating several other pieces, I hit shuffle and this song from Meg Myers came up. Its an energetic and emotional song with strong personal meaning for me. I set it to repeat and created this piece while dancing about the room, pushing and pulling paint until it felt complete."
