I’m OK, You’re Ok” is a self help book on transactional analysis written in 1967. It became popular when I was in high school in the early 70s. I picked up the paperback in a thrift store a while back thinking it could be cool in a mixed media piece.
I’ve also been reading recently about research on how generational trauma may be embedded in DNA. I reasoned that if trauma is in our DNA, then surely joy would be as well.
This painting celebrates spontaneous joy as I fall on the lighter, joyful side of deep thoughts.
This is a mixed-media effort with puzzle pieces, oil pastels, acrylic paint, crackle medium, ink, and the flowers are made of the pages from the 50-year-old book.
This was done while painting left-handed when my dominant right hand was recovering from surgery.

Another inspiration from my love of all things mid-century, a 1962 Milton Bradly boxed game, “How to play Bridge,” by legendary player and teacher, Charles Goren.The purple orchid symbolizes beauty, refinement and respect, sentiments reminiscent of values present in the TV shows I watched like, “Leave it to Beaver,” “Father Knows Best,” and “The Donna Reed Show.” I envied those fantasy families.
The mid century color story includes burnt orange, harvest gold and avocado. I added a pop of complimentary purple with the orchids.
