Patricia Daly-Lipe’s paintings come from the heart. Most are unplanned and develop as the paint goes on the canvas. Such was the case with this painting. It was a result of wiping leftover paint with a palette knife onto an empty canvas.  The Princess and the unicorn found their ways in the paint. Daly-Lipe then added the dragon. This painting represents good and evil with the Princess asking the unicorn (who represents creativity/good) to look in the mirror so he won’t see the dragon (who represents evil).

    Is this considered Modern Art? I don’t always find modern art, (as I see it) enjoyable, but I really like this and hope to see more of her work Thanks.

    I enjoyed the color and the spontaneity unfolding and you expressed the concepts of good vs. evil

    What a fascinating painting! Patricia gives us much to think about re: not looking at evil/distractions/naysayers but looking within, looking to our own creativity and spirit.
