# Waiting for Summer

Turquoise and neon yellow spill from the top edge of Waiting for Summer in thick, glossy drips, some stopping short, others running almost to the bottom of the panel. Behind them a sprayed ground shifts from deep green through lime to a warm tangerine glow, soft and finely grained like velvet. The drips are smooth and rounded at their tips, standing slightly proud of the surface with a candy-like shine, and their steady vertical rhythm gives the little panel a surprising sense of height.

Colangelo lets gravity do the drawing in this piece from her CASCADE series. She poured each color along the top and let it run until it stopped on its own, so every line found its own length, then left the glossy pours to play against the matte spray beneath. The result is bright and hopeful, a small promise of long, warm days. It brings that color to a walnut cabinet beside amber glass, or to a pale oak side table in a soft blue reading corner, and sits just as happily on a desk or shelf.

### About The Artist Content

Mandie Colangelo is an abstract painter based in Monterey, California. Raised in Arizona, she painted from childhood and wrote music, then built a creative career that moved through fashion, design, jewelry, graphic design and photography. Each chapter sharpened her eye for color, form and material. A season of profound change brought her back to the brush, and painting is now her primary practice.

Working in the abstract expressionist tradition, she builds her surfaces from acrylic, resin, street inks, pigment powders, fabric and, most distinctively, plastic, and treats each painting as an open experiment. Her paintings move between celebration and loss, memory and renewal. As she puts it: "More than anything, I hope my artwork inspires hope, joy, and reflection in those who experience it."
