PALE CORAL - ORIGINAL EXPRESSIVE PAINTING


Simply titled "CORAL" for the color of the flowers.  Love turquoise/aqua with almost any color and use it really often.  When this is framed you should be careful that the mat keeps the painting from touching the glass.  Over a long time the glass and acrylic paint could adhere to each other and that wouldn't be a good thing if you ever wanted to reframe.  Or it could be adhered to a deep cradled panel for a contemporary look.

This was a joy to create and I hope you like it too.

CHURNING UP THE DEEP - ORIGINAL ABSTRACTED SEASCAPE


My initial layer of paint was applied a few weeks before H.Florence hit the Carolina's.  Set aside, then another layer added.  Another week goes by and I'm studying what is there....Then it hits me how much it looks like the ocean.  Churning waves and wind are really dragging up the muck from below.  Thus was born the imaginary world of the coast during a hurricane.




If only the real thing looked this pretty.

A LIFE WELL LIVED - ORIGINAL EXPRESSIVE ABSTRACT ART


Blue is a favorite color so you will see it in a lot of my work.  Blue Skies, Blue Waters, Blue Mood, any reason to use Blue.  My life has evolved much like yours, I would bet, to be looking for the calmer, more soothing subjects and activities and places and people.   Nothing like sitting on a beach with the sun coming up or going down and a pleasant breeze moving the clouds along.


I would call that "A Life Well Lived" even if we only imagine it every day.

This is now on my website  HERE

Thanks for stopping by.

LIFE LIVED AT THE TOP - ORIGINAL FLORAL PAINTING


Another piece painted from imagination.  Somewhat like a Bob Burridge.  It is painted on MITZ Terra Skin Paper!  A paper made from stone!  I love this surface and I encourage all artist to give it a try.  It accepts all mediums.  Oil, acrylic, watercolor, pencil and even pastels if you give it a coat of gesso for some tooth. 


You can mat and frame it like watercolor or adhere to a wooden panel and varnish it for display without glass.

SINGING AGAIN - ORIGINAL ABSTRACT ART


Hey Friends,  As I recall I had Beaux Jacque blaring on my tiny little player, even with a sub-par CD player, Beaux and the Hi-Rollers sound great.  I was singing along too.


Once in a while I play ADELE but I usually wind up crying and can't see what I'm working so don't play her too often.  Was thinking I would like to find John Denver on a CD but he makes me cry too so maybe not.

This happy little piece is listed for sale on my website HERE!
Have a look and thanks for stopping by.

MINT JULEPS - ORIGINAL ART FOR THE WALL


Hey Friends,  I know you already know, but I thought I would remind that you can usually turn abstract work in any direction, to suit your space.


And the title makes you think of the Kentucky Derby, right?  I love the drink, Mint Julep.  I used to have a patch of mint growing just for that reason.
Since my move I have not thought of starting another patch of mint.


Don't you think the WEE ones would enjoy looking at Mint Juleps?  When the wee one got too big for the baby room, you could move the art into any room, don't cha think?

I love slang.

PLANKTON - ORIGINAL ABSTRACT ART


Hey Friends, Why did I call this one "PLANKTON"??  Probably because of the TV show "Sponge Bob".  My granBabe loves that crazy cartoon  and I was working on this while he watched SB.  I don't even know what plankton looks like really.  Of course I vaguely remember seeing them in hi-school.


This would be cute in a boys room, don't ya think?
You can buy it right from my website HERE!

CATERPILLARS - AN ORIGINAL ABSTRACT PAINTING


Hey Friends,  I know that is a strange title but look at those shapes.  A couple make me think of the wooly worm that predicts winter weather.  And speaking of winter weather, you should go check the Farmers Almanac for whats in store for us here in Va.


This available to purchase right from my website HERE.

Have a lovely day.
