Abstract continues!

Here is the latest piece 24X36 called Break. It is acrylic on canvas.

Recent Encaustic Art

Both pieces are 12X12 The Ikat Inspired piece has deep sides, the other In Bloom has a smaller frame only 3/4 inch on sides. They are both Encaustic wax painted on cradled board. Since they are encaustic these photos look a little darker- in real life encaustic takes on the light of the room. The In Bloom piece is made to shine when the light catches it.

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.
