Doodle Bop Abstracts
Doodle Bop Abstracts
30×40 acrylic on canvas by artist Janan Riley
My favorite thing I’ve painted since we have been sick. A dream of color and chaos. What I imagine parts of my brain look like.
A fun mom break series. I would add a color each day for a month. A nod to doodling, what got me into art in the first place. I used to cover my notes in doodles at UNO and my professor told me I was in the wrong major. I still finished my Psychology degree. I still doodled and decided to doodle all of New Orleans. While most of my art is of buildings and city scenes about once a year I allow myself the freedom to play.
A fun series of Abstracts. I would add color to canvases when I could on my mom breaks for 30 days and this was the result. Exploration of color and design. A deep breath of silliness, play, and leaning into the weird that is being an artist.

A Walk In New Orleans Collection
A collection of paintings representing the sights and sounds I come across on my daily walks around the city of New Orleans. Everyday is an adventure and you truly never know what you might stumble upon, whether it be a parade, kids chasing streetcars or the great bubble war in the French Quarter. Look for new works added every week this summer.
