FAMILY NIGHT OUT on Ebay

Hey Friends,  I may be getting back into the swing of  computers.  I find it hard when it's nice outside to stay indoors.  I'm not too disciplined.

I painted this little whimsical piece last week, Maybe?  I'm trying to make pieces for ebay and etsy and shows coming up.  Such as the Lynchburg Fest. at EC Glass High School and Art on the Lawn and Ikenberrys and MORE.

Please go see the news at www.doublelinepaintersoftheblueridge.blogspot.com for more info.  And you can share, we would love that and we would love to see some familiar faces at these shows.

Go check out the family on Ebay - CLICK HERE.

Thanks for stopping in.

Nasturtium's Glow

 

Hey Friends,  Still bringing you some sunshine !  This painting started out pretty abstractly.  I sprayed the milk weed looking pods with water to make the stems from the drips.  Then when I added the transparent orange, it reminded me of my Mom's nasturtiums.  They are the prettiest shade of orange I've ever seen and I'm not a fan of orange.  And you know the bees had to follow.

 

This painting is framed as shown above.  The frame was plain, I added the color and the crackle glaze.  Both are varnished.

It is available in my Etsy shop, CLICK HERE

Ending Soon on Ebay

 

Hey Friends,  Thought you might want to see what will be ending soon on Ebay.  The mini above is framed and ready to display or give as a gift.  Click Here for this auction.

 

And this one is a collage and acrylic mixed media.  A whimsical type of expression.  The nest is actually matte gel scratched with a tooth pick, over and over.  Takes a bit of patience.  But You have wonderful textures and hi-lights.  The birds along the left side is just paper doll cuts like you did in elementary school.  I used a couple stencils in the background.  Click Here for this auction.

 

Thanks for stopping in.

"Rainbow" and Spring is Here !!

Hey Friends,  Here is my Babe swinging high over the mountains at Green Hill Park, here in SW Virginia.  And a rainbow suddenly appeared.  Ha.  Using the stale imagination here.  She is going to be at auction in Ebay.  Click Here to take a peek.

And here is the news of the day--"It's warm again here in the mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains"
Yay,  I jumped in the golf cart and rode down to the bottom of the hill where the crazy people live.
I've painted here many times.  It seems to change every winter.  And in the photos you can't see the little stream of water like you can in the painting.

This shot is the block in or start.  I made the base coat blue for a change but I still like the red base better.   I painted another after this one on a red base.  I'll show you that one tomorrow.

Here more colors are added.  As you can see the real scene isn't so pretty or maybe my camera was on the wrong setting.  I'm sure everyone knows you have to add your own panache to most scenery.  There is always something wrong.  Except today it was so nice to be outside I didn't even notice how dull and gray every thing still is.  The little green sprouts are bursting forth and soon we artists will be belly aching 'cuz everything is so green.

Tomorrow, Thursday, my painting group, the DLP will be painting in a vineyard north of here.  I will give a full report tomorrow night here and on the DLP blog.
