CONTORTED - ORIGINAL ABSTRACT STILL LIFE

The vase in this painting is an acrylic pour I did back in the summer.  These pours are fun to do even if they are totally on their own.  I could not find a single way to control them and if your table is not perfectly level, it will run everywhere.

I made several of these skins with the intention of doing vases and flowers from them. 

A great little time killer to do with your GranBabes.

This is available on my website HERE

CORN FLOWERS

Hey Friends,  If you didn't know, cornflowers are the same as bachelor buttons.  I can only assume it depends on where you live as what you call them.

Kinda like toe-ma-toe  and toe MA toe.

But I do love that blue! And I love this painting.  If you do also, please tell me.

It is available for purchase on my website HERE.

NEXT UP IN THE GARDEN SERIES - MEE MEE'S GARDEN

Hey Friends,  The people closest to me know how much I love Mee Mee, so I could not leave her out, even if she is a dog.  I sincerely believe we can love a pup as much as some humans.  We know the pups can be much more loving than some humans.

So I tested Mee Mee and had her pick out some of her most favorites colors. I was surprised that she like purple so much.  I may have unconsciously influenced her by my attitude towards purple.

No matter, her garden painting turned out to be a fav of mine.

You can see it and purchase it on my website HERE.

JESSI'S GARDEN

Hey Friends,  Jessi's Garden does not exist (yet) I had to make her's up.  But I bet if she did plant a pot she would have some crimson blooms in there.

This would be pretty in your home.  In a frame of white or gray to match your couch!

This is listed on my website for Sale HERE

NIC'S GARDEN IN THE BLOOM SERIES

Hey Friends,  Nicolus is next.  He likes the yellow blooms.  Marigold, Sunflowers, Melanpodia!

This is 12"sq. also and available for purchase on my website HERE!

Don't you think Babies & Toddlers would enjoy looking at a colorful abstract?

It would mean about the same to them as a picture of ducks or animals.  The colors are what draw their attention.  It would look fab in a frame the same color as the bed.

A SALE IN MY NEW EBAY SHOP WILL START THIS FRIDAY SEPT. 1st

Hey Friends,  Announcing the first SALE I've ever tried to conduct on line.  I will need lots of prayers and luck to make it go smoothly.  This sunflower is the latest piece I added to my           EBAY  Store.  And the sale is 25% off any and all paintings !

I never would have dreamed how long it takes to list one item on Ebay !!  The most time consuming thing I've done for days.  I have over a 100 items listed now  and I have more to go.  I have not participated in any selling venues for several years so I have a glut of paintings sitting there taking up my little bit of space in the studio.

I used to travel  a lot, to outdoor festivals up and down the East Coast but time changes everyone and their bodies.  It isn't as easy as it once was to set up a heavy tent and flats, etc. etc.

So here I am trying something new ONLINE.

Hoping you will share this post and go have a look yourself.  Art makes a wonderful gift and that time is rolling in pretty fast.

ORIENTAL CHERRY - SPRING SENSATIONS ART EXHIBIT

Hey Friends,  Bee's are a favorite subject of mine, I've painted many of them.  The bumble bee more than others.  Probably because I have more models of them than any others.

Here is what she could look on a wall in anyone's home.  Original works of art have a quality that you will never find in a print or a canvas reproduction, no matter what any one tells you.  Of course you need them side by side to see what I mean.  Of course there are better repro's made at some facilities, such as Fine Art America, and you can get a print of this painting there.

Or you can go to my website and buy the Original there.  Or you can go right now to 2nd Helpings Gallery in Roanoke and purchase it right off the wall !

Thank you for visiting

No.23 in the 30 Day Challenge - WHITE DAISYS

Hey Friends,  Here is my latest experiment.  Using my new acrylic markers.  It feels a bit like going back to childhood days of coloring in the lines only.  Out lining the leaves gave it an entirely new look  And I like the worn out use of alcohol spots.

Have really enjoyed all my studio time but still anticipating painting out doors.
