CELESTIAL SUNFLOWERS #1 AND #2 - ORIGINAL ABSTRACT ART

Hey Friends,  This set can be what you call a dyptch  or they can be displayed indivually.

They were inspired by my last visit to BEAVER DAM FARM in Buchanan, Virginia.  They have a sunflower festival there every year.  AgroTourism, even though they are a dairy farm, they are struggling like most farmers so they started this wonderful festival and I hope you go next year.

This is #1.

Here they are together, a little too together.

Here is #2.

A shot of them together over a desk.  If you love sunflowers I think you will love these.  The colors are very sunflower-ry.

Hope you look at the link to Beaver Dam Farm, if you click on one of the photos, you will see a lot more hidden in there somewhere. And hope for better weather next year.

CONTORTED #2 - ORIGINAL STILL LIFE PAINTING

Hey Friends, I started a series of contorted vases a month or so ago.  This is the 2nd, and posting this has made me realize, I have not posted #1 yet!  I guess I should be expecting this more often!  LOL  It is on my FASO website HERE.

If you were to look at my Instagram you would see it and that I am using acrylic pour skins for these vases (most of them)  This pouring technique is a big pain in the wazoo so I may give it up.  I like different that's why I tried it. 

Thanks for stopping in.

WHERE THERE IS PERFECTION - FLORAL IMPRESSION

I wanted to play with some soft feminine colors and tulip shapes.  This vertical canvas seemed perfect for the job.  I can see it in a floater frame or a tropical, beachy, pale color frame.

The shape of this canvas lends it self well to a lot of odd spaces.  Contemporary decor or traditional !

Have a wonderful week.

TIME FLIES - ORIGINAL SMALL ABSTRACT PAINTING

Hey Friends,  Always working!  Look out OBX, I'll be there soon.

This is titled "TIME FLIES".   My sister and I were talking about how old our babes are now and WE DO NOT feel old enough to have kids their age!  We all do that, don't we?

Even talking about it shows our age, right?

This is on my website HERE.  And you can see it better!

KEEPING IT TOGETHER - STILL LIFE PAINTING

I enjoy painting flowers in a very loose, impressionistic style.  There is beauty in the photo realistic style but it doesn't have much in the way an expressive artistic painterly statement does it?  I love to see the painters hand in their work.

This and most of my floral pieces are from my imagination.  I have a wide array of artificial flowers that are fun to use.   I drag them out once in a while.

This is painted on YUPO watercolor paper (a plastic paper).  It was fun to work on and I encourage you to give it a try.

This is listed on my website HERE.

Glad you stopped by.

DANCING IN THE DARK - ORIGINAL PAINTING

Hey Friends,  Inspiration comes from songs for me.  I enjoy music when I'm working.  This is from a Bruce Springsten song, I'm sure you have heard.  Beaux Jacque inspires a ton also.  I love Adelle but I usually cry and can't see what I'm doing so I don't listen to her very often.

This is a 12x12 piece and listed on my website HERE

This will probably be with other works at a show called ART BLAST,  to be held at Towers Mall, the upper level, here in Roanoke, Va.  All the way in the back where Rams Head used to be.  The famous STUDIO SCHOOL has moved into that space and they are sponsoring this event.

Hoping you can stop by and say hello and support some local creatives.

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.
