Yesterday marked the beginning of a new year for me. This particular painting marks the growth of time and what lies ahead.

I've always been a sucker for texture. It's fun to find ways to create a three dimensional look on a flat surface. First abstract of the year!

I was inspired by a photograph taken by @felecool on Instagram. The painting doesn't look anything like the photo, but then again, its not supposed to either. It's a 16 x 20 mixed media (watercolor and acrylic) on canvas board.

This morning I was checking in with a client to see if she had received her painting and how she liked it. Before I could send her an email there was one in my inbox from her saying how much she LOVED her painting! Of course this totally made my day and  inspired me to paint a new one. I'm working on a diptych, each canvas measuring 16x20. The first part of the painting is almost done. I liked the stage it's in right now and made a print. I'm excited to see how the piece looks when it's all finished!

batikish

as most of you know,

i'm a big fan of orange. =)

and lately i've been experimenting with acrylic. well, i also like watercolors. this painting is a combination of both. this painting reminds me of a batik. a process which i know nothing about except that i'm going to learn how to do it one of these days! this is a work in progress, but i thought i would share it with

you.

I've been painting most of the morning this is the first of five paintings. The others will be posted later on today. Just received an order for Earthworks II, so I need to ship it before I finish painting the last of the nu orange series. =)
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

White Grass

It's been quite awhile since I've created a painting that I really like. My newest piece, White Grass, is one of my new favorites. I was inspired by my friend Elayna and her gorgeous hand painted silks. To me this painting reflects the coming of spring, new beginnings, and peacefullness.



Yesterday my sweet hubby made me a frame for the painting. He's pretty new to woodworking, but is really enjoying it. So I thought I'd spring a new project on him. When I returned from church last night, he already had it hanging in the living room! It looks so good. Thanks sweetie! xoxo


...I found out this weekend that I need to renew my membership to BoundlessGallery. So, I'll be doing that today. =) I also want to continue with this grass series. The next one is going to be smaller, but hopefully have some key similarities.
