Abstract Landscape “Cradle of Night” 24 x 24 mixed media by Kelly Jeanette Swift

“Cradle of Night” 24 x 24 mixed media
I love the night, especially during the summer months.
Just standing outside in the quietness, smelling the honeysuckles,
looking up at the stars, thanking God for the beauty He created.
This painting was the first one I liked after weeks of frustration.
I began it after I decided to ignore the “good painting rules” and just paint the way I wanted.
I close my eyes and see myself standing on a fog enshrouded hill
overlooking a valley with the lights of a town under a partly cloudy sky with stars.
Can you smell the honeysuckles? Can you hear the crickets?
24 x 24 gallery wrapped canvas
textural, mark making, acrylic paint, oil pastels, gold ink
Sides are painted and it is varnished with a satin varnish, and ready to hang out of the box.
It is packed carefully and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

This piece is available. $430 + shipping. Message me.

As always, Live Wild, Love More, Laugh Often, and Create Fearlessly!

Obstacles

New work will be posted as soon as I can get the weather to cooporate with me. My house has bad lighting so I have to go outside to take good pictures. It's sunny today, but very cold and windy. Maybe I should buy a lamp with natural light bulbs. Costly, but good investment. I really would like to find a way to market my work into resellable items-prints, cups, cards, etc. Then I could put them on zazzle.com. I would also like to invest in a good printer. There is a site called CraftCount.com that list the top 100 sellers in all categories on etsy. I check out the top artists selling and realized that they all had one thing in common. Prints. All were selling prints of their work. Even though I like doing one of a kind paintings, prints could up my sales. I could leave corporate America sooner. Wish me luck!

  I just did these aceos. I have trouble selling my art, but on eBay I sell quite a few of these. I don't get much but I would like to keep doing these during my retirement.

The Wind

Number four on my Love List is the wind. It just popped in there without a conscious thought on my part. I do love the wind. I love to stand in my yard and experience an incoming storm, the building up of the wind until I'm forced to go in. I love the wind off the ocean and it's smell. I love the wind in Autumn and the smells of dry leaves and wood smoke. The wind is what causes movement in nature, causes the leaves to swirl around in a dance, the bare branches to talk, the tall grasses to whisper. The wind is what erodes stone, smooths it down, moves sand in the deserts, causes waves.
