"Pear Trees at Sunset" 24" x 30" mixed media abstract on gallery wrapped canvas I really look forward to the start of Spring. It means winter is over and that color is returning to nature along with the warm weather. I love to see the pear trees near my home start to bloom. All that fluffy whiteness against the lovely bed buds just coming out. Of course, this year the pear trees bloomed before the red buds because of the warm winter we had. materials -acrylic paint, oil pastels, gold ink, graphite pencil, canvas, gesso, spray color ink techniques -brush work, finger painting, knife, spraying, mark making See my terms about shipping and returns Detail photos

My thoughts behind this piece is that I wanted to capture the serene quiet glow of a frosty morning. The soft colors and cool shadows and the coppery brown of dead leaves. You cannot see it well, but there is much texture in the painting due to molding paste. I also used white glitter to give the "frosty" look.

So, here is the finished painting That Lingering Melody.  I also wanted to show some close ups so you can see the textures in the painting. They are not really visible in the photo. You would have to see this painting in person to really get a feel for it. It is a mixed media piece using heavy body and fluid acrylic paint, Valspar paint, molding paste for the texture, silver ink, gold and orange spray craft paint (the good kind). As I said I used molding paste for the texture. I also used a square stamp, Color Shine glitter spray paint, sponge painting, and my fingers, using traditional paint brushes, sponges, and throwing paint onto the canvas. I am really pleased with this painting. It has become one of my favorites because of the colors and textures, as well as the techniques I used to create it. I had a lot of fun with it.

My newest attempt. I really loved the process in creating this painting. So, I am starting another one and hope for similar results. Beginning a new painting is always a scary but exciting event. At first there is a image in the head of what you want. Then it takes on a life of it's own and does what it wants. Sometimes you fight it and the end result is unsatisfying if not downright ugly. Sometimes, I go with the flow and turn out something awesome. Sometimes neither works out well and it's time to re purpose the canvas. One can only take a deep breath and hope for the best .

Title-“Wild Flowers” Bartered 24 x 30 on stretched canvas Acrylic and mixed media (for a larger view click on image) I begin this painting as a simple abstract, but to my delight flowers began to appear.
