ELEMENTS - the Show by Double Line Painters is hanging at Goose Creek Gallery in Bedford, Va.

Hey Friends,  A reminder, 'cuz I really hope you will take the time to come out to DT Bedford, Va.this Friday evening, the 11th for their 2nd Fridays Art Walk.

The 2 photos above show some of the works by the Double Line Painters.  Top is Linda Schaar.

These last 2 photos show a piece of mine, titled "Call of the Sea".  Titles are my weak spot.

Thought of calling it "Ariel's Necklace".  Sort of reminds me of a a child's homemade necklace.

There is a base of silver leaf,  with a Geode and shell slices and beads and some sort of netting and CARDBOARD of all things!  And Linda loaned me some stuff that makes instant verdigris, which you can barely see along the edge of cardboard.

For me the abstracted images are the hardest, they take the longest to create.  Maybe if one did them every day it wouldn't take so long.  You know that thing called "practice".

Hope to see you soon,

Happy Trails

DragonFly No. 15

 

Hey Friends,  This Dragonfly is painted on a very heavily textured canvas using gel with course grit.  The canvas was toned with magenta after the gel dried.  I then put various gobs of acrylic here and there across the top and sprayed with lots of water to get the drippy background.  Then the details were added and It was varnished.  It is for auction in Ebay,  Click to See.

 

Thanks for stopping in.  My painting group the DLP spent this day at Roaring Run on Craigs Creek and I have some lovelies to share.  Hopefully tomorrow, but my GranSon is here for a couple nights and he won't stay still for long.  So it may not happen tomorrow.

 

Happy Trails

Happy Mothers Day

Bumble Bee No. 11

Hey Friends,  I'm up to about No. 33 in the bee series but this is No. 11.  She got lost for a while in the mess of my studio.  Now I'm putting her up for auction in Ebay.  I want to see what my fab collectors out there in CyberLand think of my Bees.  I love to paint these guys and I have models, found in the greenhouse already dead, that I've saved for this purpose.
This painting was started by laying down sand gel in strategic places.  Then painting over with acrylics.  A little rough on the brushes but I enjoy the textures and the final result.
You can check it out at Ebay Here.
