About Me
- Annie Coe
- I am a painter living in the beautiful moutain town of Taos New Mexico. Artist Statement: I have been painting since I was eight years old when I declared to my mother that I wanted to be an artist. She promptly went out and bought me an oil set. Perhaps not the wisest choice for a child, but it got me started. I have been painting ever since and my way of working and what I paint has changed dramatically over the years. At this point in time I am working with mixed media on board and canvas. Nearly every image starts with a dream, either waking or sleeping. Other subjects that inform my work are literature and nature. Each painting is for me an adventure in color and texture,an exploration of joy and a way for me to get to know myself better. There is always a personal narrative and some hidden message that I am unaware of until it reveals itself in the finished piece. My paintings are about whatever is going on in my life at the time I am painting. My intention when I do a painting is to be true to my authentic voice and perhaps to open someone's heart and mind to all the possibilities around them.

Annie - this piece is fabulous. And on my computer screen - I see the color as red - not orange at all and I see lots of graphite marks - maybe what you're seeing is how your computer is reading the colors!
I love the composition in this - and the root and the colors . . . .
Kisses to you & your great work!
xxoo
Judy, Thank you! You could be right, computer screens all read the colors differently. Kisses back! xoxo
wow-wow-WOW! I LOVE it!
Hugs to you and the critters,
xoxoxo
Angela, Thank you sweetie! xoxo
Ooh. . . reminds me of a Georgia O'Keeffe, if that is a favorable comparison.
This is nice. I think the photographs have come out well. I would call this painting: Taking root. Or perhaps new beginnings. Red reminds me of new beginnings.
Hi Annie! LOVE it. It reads red here (say that five times fast). It has an anatomical feel - like the human heart, which I think it interesting since it's a root. Symbol of so much either way. Beautiful piece. xox Pam
the close ups show the marks well and i esp like the angled photo of the whole canvas. i see red also. original and interesting.
Kate, I don't see it, but I don't mind it being compared to Georgia O'Keeffe :-).
Lubna, Pam and Suki, Thank you!xoxo
After getting a new computer screen and having to do all the colour adjustments I havn't been able to get the colour right on my screen. Very frustrating, especially when looking at my photos!
After reading yoborobo's comment I can see and really like the idea of the root being a human heart in this painting. I also love all the graphite markings.
Oh my!!! I adore this! I think you have entered a new "zone" this past year Annie.
I see red as well.
I love the pod, or whatever this organic form is. I also like Pam's idea of a heart.
You, my dear, are on a roll!
xo
Lo♥
Maybe your monitor is not calibrated correctly? because I see red. It's a fantastic painting, love the textures, and separation of color.
I'm also seeing red, not orange.
A thistle!
I couldn't think of it for a minute, but that's what the image looks like to me.
And I like thistles a lot!
Hey I'm a first time visitor of your blog and am quite impressed with your paintings! A fine blend of texture and colors!
Regards,
Ronit
I do like the balance of light & dark, and the texture in your paintings you know I always love. Still working out how I can get up that way & when, so I will let you know when I get it figured out!

I've come back to look at this picture every day, having strong feelings, but not sure what to say. I think back on how amazing it's been to see your journey as an artist. This picture seemed so powerful to me - it appears simple in way -- but something about it has been so powerful. Today I flashed on the Knights Templar -- there is a old religious resonance to it for me. I'm not an art critic, all I can say is this painting "feels" powerful and confident to me. It feels like it resonates with archetypes in my unconscious. I really like it, Annie.
