New Looser Acrylic Florals

     I am having a ball in my studio creating in acrylics for the first time in years !
I am enjoying the  process of loosely constructed colorful compositions and exploring negative shape paintings.    So FUN, and never really knowing how the finished product will turn out, that's part of the adventure with these fun florals... Having so much fun I'm reducing the price on these beauties.   They look fantastic with a simple white mat, backing, and simple frame with glass.  I am selling them without mats to keep it simple for shipping and to keep the price down... thanks, Sandy

Sunny Bedroom Painting #39

 

Something different, for a change, larger size (18 x 24), acrylic, rather than oil, different subject, too... ha ha !  

The first painting was done in acrylics, and really not totally finished either, but, anyhoo, the second (and final one) I finished in oil.   I like the colors in the second version MUCH better... how about you ?

    

Creative Wednesdays with my sis.....

Yesterday my sis and I got together for our weekly Creatathon.....  She worked on a ruffled skirt for her grandbaby, and I started a large canvas in acrylics.   I worked most of the day and pretty much just got the underpainting finished.  Boy, it's different working big.  I'm not used to my paintings taking that long.... ha  !
     I had found some cute fabrics to work with, and brought them home to start some skirts for my little ones......  Ruffles are a girls best friend, right?
     WELL, I didn't get a picture to post yet, so stay tuned for MORE TO COME.....

Meanwhile, here's a 'blast from the past'--- just couldn't resist !

Never waste a minute that you can spend painting.... ha ha

     While teaching the students this week, I brought my acrylic paints to use during my 'off' hours.  It's a good thing for students to see a working artist, and to see that passion plays a large part of the mix.   They loved to ask questions about my works in progress, and the finished ones I brought, also.   I really enjoy working with my oils much better, but acrylics are certainly better than nothing when you can't use the oils...

    Here are the two that I completed...  I used photos for these, and some of the kids wanted me to take their picture and paint them.   I was able to get a few to work with in the future.

Day One Hundred-Eighty Six

'Sunlit Glow'

This is the last of the bigger paintings to show you. It too, is acrylic, and 24 x 38.

Day One Hundred-Eighty Five

'Tree Peony"

This painting was done awhile back. It hangs in my son's diningroom, and is 24 x 38. I used to work big, and I enjoy that too, but, daily small paintings are fun from the aspect of experimenting and learning new techniques. This one is also acrylic, instead of oil. (I personally love oil the best !)
