"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

Really not sure about the direction of this one. I tried some new things and did not do any molding paste first. I just started painting. I like the colors though. So glad it's warmer now. I feel more like painting when I am not shivering. 36 x 36 gallery wrapped mixed media on canvas-acrylic paint, graphite pencil, oil pastels, spray paint, ink, interference paint, gold ink, gesso Techniques used-brush painting, finger painting, drawing, stamping, dripping, stenciling

I had a dream last night that I was painting on a very large canvas. I was rubbing my hands all over it smearing great globs of a very beautiful blue all over it so that it dripped and ran like a waterfall down the canvas. I looked at my hands and they were also dripping with that amazing blue. It pained me that I had to go to work this morning and not paint. Also I am out of large canvas.                                                                                               This is the closest I could find to that color.

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, ...

Title-Frosted Cattails $460  +  shipping 24 x 36 on stretched canvas Acrylic and mixed media Why I created this painting-I usually do not like any thing to do with winter, but with the recent really cold nights I noticed that the little frog pond near my house was frozen over and the cattails where covered in frost and ice.
