SOME ART SALES, MAYBE CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Hey Friends, I was going to show you 3 that have sold in last couple weeks but I can't find the other 2 on my computer.  I will not waste anymore time hunting.  Wish I could think of a better way to keep up with inventory.

The sweet Moma above and her Babe have found their forever home in Tenn.  Hope her new owners will send a photo of it hanging in their house.

Have a good week and enjoy the snow headed our way.

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

FOUND A NEW TECHNIQUE TO PLAY WITH (WASTE TIME WITH?)

Hey Friends,  I'm sure you ALL know about paint pouring and I have been watching YouTube videos of it for way over a year.  I thought it looked like fun but did not want to get involved with yet another new thing!  Also thought I should not waste the money.

But I have been wanting to play with a series of abstracted, deformed pottery rejects for months.  I think it will be interesting to use these panels and skins for the vases...!!

I'm starting to get the hang of it.  First ones look like marbled paper, not cells.

Can't wait to get started.

COMPLICATED FROM BIRTH  24" sq. Acrylic

And lastly, this new piece will be going to WVTF in the morning.  I painted over one that I did not like but kept the title.  I wonder if that is bad luck?A little glare on the right side but like I said, Photographing Artwork is a PAIN!

I'm liking my work more and more.  I would like to know your opinion.

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.

THE JOY OF RECEIVING - Original Mixed Media Painting

Started off with a shot on the angle again so you can see the flexible modeling paste without paint on it.

Here is the first cool gray layer.

Some white paint rubbed on.

Some painted papers added next.

Lots of paint layers in the red flowers, which to me look like old fashioned thorny roses.  Some of the dark reds smeared on with fingers and greens too.

Bright, lively, fresh take on a still life.

Varnished and ready to hang.  You could purchase over at my website HERE.

You can find gifts such as mugs and totes at my FAA shop HERE.

Enjoy your week !
