Day 29 - Right Side of Diptych

 Hey Friends,  This is the other half of the diptych, I posted the left half yesterday.

 These close ups show you how much texture there is

 I used Golden's Glass Bead Gel to form the flowers.  Conventional work for the BumbleBee's.
This is in my Etsy Shop along with the other half.   Click Here.
The last day is almost here.  I think I'll post what I painted at Centerfest  in Bedford, Va.  This is a plein-aire piece and I asked for critiques, so it looks a bit better than the majority of my plein-aire works !  But I'm getting better, slowly.

Thought I'd throw this in at the last second.  For anyone that doesn't know what a diptych is.  And this is before I was finished.   Diptych's hang togather.

Day 22 of Leslie Saeta's Challenge

Hey Friends,  I must be honest,  this piece of work has not been shown before BUT I didn't paint it yesterday.  I made this about a month ago.  There now you can chastise me.  I made a post here on my blog sometime ago, I will attempt to link to it so you can see that I made the stamps for all of these critters.  I did enjoy carving the stamps and thoroughly enjoyed creating a design to fit them into.  So please leave a comment, tell me what you really think of this.
You can also check some close-ups in my Etsy shop.   Click Here.

Day 21 of the 30 Day Challenge

Hey Friends,  Here it is-Day 21 !  And I'm still here too.  I'm amazed at myself.
Todays presentation is, you guessed it, more birds.  This one started with the paper base and then acrylic gel stenciled on and then the bluebirds and last, I painted the bird bath.
And to toot my own horn, a lovely woman in Eugene, Oregon bought my dictionary collage of "Ibis".
Just pray I can keep this pace up after this challenge.  Or to be more reasonable, every other day.
In case you don't know I put my work in my Etsy store.   Click Here.

Day 15 of Leslie's Challenge

Hey Friends,  The title is " Lessors on Parade".   In case you don't already know, we have lessor and greater flamingos.  The Lessor is the prettiest to me.  It's brighter pink and smaller.  The greater is of course a pale pink and ganglier..   They are both beautiful and I love to paint both.
This is a parade of Lessors and they know they are hot stuff.
This was purchased Saturday at the fab Lynchburg Festival by Nanci for her darling granddaughter, at least I think I'm remembering that correctly.

Wild Phlox

Hey Friends, I just added this little painting to the Daily Paintworks Shop.  It is 5"x5" canvas panel.
And it is really better looking in person.  And I used my scanner which usually makes such good copies.  Seems a little fuzzy to me.  I should try it again and compare.  Maybe I've accidently changed something on my scanner.
This auction will start tomorrow the 26th .  Click on that DPW emblem there on the right.

WINDY DAY

Hey Friends, I'm listing this painting in my Etsy. Again this is acrylic on MASA Rice Paper. I would love to know what you think of this technique or this effect. I'm crazy about it but I'm known to love stuff nobody else likes. BTW-this rice paper makes beautiful lamp shades.

Now I think I'll spend a few minutes figuring out how to post someone else's work here on my blog. It may never see the light of day but I really want to show you some of the work my Team members from Virginia do. I'm talking about Design Style Guide.

Happy Trails.
