"Jazz Guitar" This is "Jazz Guitar" an 20 x 24 mixed media painting done on gallery wrapped canvas. It was inspired by the music of Jesse Cook , one of my favorite musicians.  I know. It doesn't look like a guitar. It's not suppose to. This is a painting about my reaction to and feelings while listening to the music. Bright. Happy. Energetic. Ready to boogie (yes, I dance while I paint. No, you will not see it. It will scare you.).  Here are some snapshots of sweet spots.   Material s used were acrylic paint, molding paste,oil pastels, gold ink,black ink, canvas.   Tools used were paint brush, pens, and my fingers.  I am pretty pleased with how this one turned out. I love the energy in it. It makes me think of a very bright sunny day with a strong breeze blowing.  This painting is ready for a forever home. Sides are painted and it is wired to hang on your wall immediately upon arrival. A certificate of authenticity comes ...

It will be during a state wide art event called Quiver Quest -celebrating Autumn and Halloween. My work will be in the Autumn part of the exhibit. I love Halloween, but I can't do scary stuff.

"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

This painting began as a challenge. To work on one painting for fifteen days. Of course, it went beyond the fifteen days. At first it was a struggle to paint that long because I do not really paint that long on one painting. So Long Summer 36 x 36 gallery wrapped canvas Mixed media $900 + shipping After fighting with it, using colors I don't normally use, covering them back up, and just getting mad and making marks out of frustration, I finally hit a point I began to like it and the process. Mind you, I'll not do a fifteen day thing again. I just can't work that long on one piece, but I will definitely try to go beyond my comfort zone. Here are some close up of some of the "sweet spots". And yes, there are some sparkle to the yellow because I threw in some white glitter for fun. And I used my favorite mark maker, a gold oil stick. materials-acrylic paint, canvas, oil sticks, spray paint, white glitter, pastel canyons, molding paste, ...

Fire Meets the Sea 18"x 24" Mixed Media on Canvas If you want to own this painting go to my website kellyjeanetteswift.com to purchase. After struggling with my last painting for a week, this painting was done much faster. Why? It’s because I had fun doing it. The last one was too controlled, too tight. It was not lose enough. This one was more intuitive and free flowing except for the parts I chose to control like the placement of the molding paste for texture and the lovely little pink circles. I have no idea what they are. They just felt right to do. After staring at the painting for a while I have decided to call it Fire Meets the Sea. I see flowing lava, sea spray, and vegetation. I actually love this one a lot. I wish you could see the details on this piece.
