A MILLION YEARS AGO - ORIGINAL ABSTRACT PAINTING

Hey Friends,  I hope some of the Glenvar Girls see my blog.  It would give them a little insight into my brain.  Maybe they could even say 'so thats what is wrong with her'.  HeeHee.

Looking forward to our pajama party!

This is listed HERE

I just plucked this title out of the air.  I was frustrated that I could not think of anything creative or unique.  I labor over my titles as much as the painting part!  Do You?

It seems to me the title should/could give a viewer some insight into what the artist is trying to say.

I'll get blasted for that statement.

Do you think it fits?

A million years ago what did they use to draw with?  Were humans even around then?  I can't remember our timeline, but what difference does it make?  We say 'a million years ago' for a lot of reasons that make no sense.

So that's my thoughts for this creation.

SINGING AGAIN - ORIGINAL ABSTRACT ART

Hey Friends,  As I recall I had Beaux Jacque blaring on my tiny little player, even with a sub-par CD player, Beaux and the Hi-Rollers sound great.  I was singing along too.

Once in a while I play ADELE but I usually wind up crying and can't see what I'm working so don't play her too often.  Was thinking I would like to find John Denver on a CD but he makes me cry too so maybe not.

This happy little piece is listed for sale on my website HERE!

Have a look and thanks for stopping by.

A DAY IN THE STUDIO

Hey Friends,  

I played HOOKEY today and stayed HOME!  I needed some quiet time.

I tried to straighten my studio a bit, somewhat successful.  If your heart isn't into, you know it just won't go the way you intend.

I got it straightened enough to get this started.  I think tomorrow I will put squiggles all over it.

This is HARD.

Wish me luck. 

Have a grand weekend and Happy Trails

ROADBLOCK - Original Abstract Painting

Hey Friends,  Tell me what you think of this one?  I painted it last fall, late 2016. One of my first experiments with Bob Burridge's color wheel.  He has some informative video's on YouTube about his wheel.

This is a detail shot that hopefully you can see the textures.  Made with a cake decorating tool.  A few splatters too.

This is listed for sale at my website HERE.

And you can get prints, canvas or paper, at FAA HERE.

Thanks for stopping in.

COMPLICATED FROM BIRTH - Original Abstract Art

Hey Friends,   A few photos of the process I can go through when  making a new piece of art.  Majority of the time I start with a sketch.

Putting down the base layer.

Already added more base colors with grays.  Now starting with some lavenders.

Some burnt umbers and whites.

Just about finished.  A few accent colors with swirly marks.

Don't remember where the title came from but I think I was reviewing the conversation I had with my sister about her sons or daughter.  They have been Hi-Maintenance, complicated from birth.

Threw this shot in at the last minute.  I like showing a painting within a room.  Now I need to learn how to make them throw a shadow.

View and purchase on my website FASO or buy a shower curtain or pillow at FAA.

BRAND NEW VISION - Original Abstract Art Painting

Hey Friends,  Making your way through this week , happily?

 Hoping for some warmer weather so I can get outside to paint.  This year I want to try making collages outside.  I know, if it's windy what do I do?  Probably sit in the car or find a bunch of rocks.  HehHeh, Can't wait.

So this piece of my brain got it's title from my desire to try NEW painting styles.  I have always been pretty realistic and after 25 years, I just feel the need to do differently.  Hope it lasts for years, because it is so much fun.  Sometimes it is a bit taxing but I believe it may be a good way to defeat Alzhimers and a host of other elderly problems.  Although I'm still a spring chicken, it doesn't hurt to start early.

This piece is varnished and ready to hang and for purchase at my website, HERE,  FREE shipping in the continental US.

Nice, good quality reproductions are available at FAA, HERE.

FOOLS GOLD Original Artwork Set of Three

Hey Friends,  I think I may have posted this before but I think it was just a peak.  Now you can see all 3 even though the photo sucks of the 2 smaller 6" of the set.

You can hang on one wall with the 2 smaller on one side, or the 2 smaller on the bottom or top.  And you can hang the bigger alone and the 2 smaller on a shelf.

Here is my website and here is my shop on FAA.

POND IN PEARISBURG

Hey Friends,  I remembered again to take progress shots, this is just a couple of them.

I have a photo of the wonderful pond in Pearisburg, Va. on my Chrome Book.

A closer look at the water lilies.  They were not in bloom at the time I took the photo.

That is a bridge way in the distance.

The Koi are another figment of my imagination but they fulfilled their purpose.

There were lots of reflections and sky patterns in the water.

Here is the final piece at 24" x 18".  The colors are very true.

This is available in my website, www.suefurrow.com .

I love process shots on other people's blogs and hope you enjoy them too.

Please feel free to comment.

New Work for the Lynchburg Art Fest at EC Glass Sept.17

Hey Friends,  I've been experimenting and playing with a new direction in my work.    Look at the land in this piece.  I wish I had thought to take process photos.  

I guess I'll have to put a barricade on my studio door that won't let me in until I promise to take process shots.

Whatever works right?

See you there.....
