Theatre Time

If you are wondering where I have been I went and took a little visit to Memphis and did a little costume work. Currently I am trying to finish two baby quilts then I can get back to painting. Canvas is unfinished!

Waterfall in Work

So I had in my mind this beautiful impressionist waterfall. Not sure if I have seen something like it somewhere? I started it last night. My husband thought that it was a big pore- you know like you see in the tv adds for acne! HA!

This is where it was when I finished last night. This piece is still in work. Acrylic on 20x20 gallery wrapped canvas.

To Sunset or NOT

Well I got the bright idea I would try my hand at a sunset. This was a follow along of a palette knife tutorial that I quickly decided I did not want to palette knife. I still painted it and never felt it looked like something I would do. Usually if I watch a tutorial 1/2 into the process the painting takes on a life of it's own and I am free to continue painting in my own style. In other words, it looks like me not the tutorial and really the tutorial is only a starting point for proportions or color balance. I took this photo of the process. I then showed it to my husband and proceeded to the kitchen where I took out a scrub brush and washed the canvas. I got alot of the paint off and I now love it. Of course he says it is because it is mostly yellow,my favorite color! I doubt I will leave the canvas like this as my intention was to paint it over.

Full Moon

I think I have finally finished this piece. I am calling it full moon for the moment. 16 X 20, lots of texture- bead gel used

Happy 4th!

Here we have a tiny abstract and the update of the one posted yesterday which is 20X20. I think it has the colors of a Dr. Seuss book. Very much Oh, the places you will go.

July Abstraction!

Here it is the middle of summer. I just received a large order of Art supplies and I am ready to paint. I am still working on my abstract painting. Here are two in work.
