Coneflowers
These three coneflowers were a class exercise painted on a 12 x 16,2inch gallery wrapped canvas, and were the beginning of a series of flowers all painted with the same colour palette. Hope you enjoy them.
Alone at sea
This dory painting was a class exercise, I'm very pleased with the sunset colours and the dory reflection on the water. Acrylic paint on a 12 x 14, 2 inch gallery wrapped canvas. It is docked in Brushstrokes Studio.
In the Bahamas
I have been creating a few sets of paintings that compliment each other, one of the paintings contains an element of abstract along with figurative, and the complimentary painting is abstract. These two acrylic paintings are hanging in a guest room that has a Bahamas theme. The two are painted with the exact colour palette, the palm trees are on a 24 x 46 inch canvass, and the complimenting abstract is a 24 x 36 canvas.
Under the Sea
I've created a few sets of paintings to compliment each other in a few rooms. First set was for our new softly renovated downstairs bathroom. I chose these colours as they reminded me of the seashore, see how these little flowers seem to be swimming towards the light. This is an acrylic 8 x 10 placed in a black framed.
Looking out to sea.
Using the exact colour palette I created this 24 x 36 acrylic abstract to compliment "Under the Sea".
Over the fence
This 8 x 10 Was a painting done in class, an exercise in up close and personal fading into landscape.
Reflections
I love the feel of this abstract, and get so much enjoyment of placing paint on a canvas, picking up a knife and letting my imagination take over. It is on a 16 x 20 canvas and does not have a special home yet.
Look over here.
These was an interesting exercise, the acrylic painted sunflowers were first outlined then filled in, hard to believe that most of us in class took two nights to finish up a little a 8 x 10.
