Olive Oil

12" x 12" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

I was bored with the painting below and decided to add more vibrant color to it. The finished painting is much more fun than it used to be. Although you can't see it in the picture, the edges are painted a soft olive green and that really adds to the overall effect.

I am working with oils again and have no finished paintings to post yet.

Thanks for stopping by.

Olive Oil WIP

12" x 12" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

I used a new brand of wrapped canvas for this one. It has a finer finish than the ones I have used before.

I'm not sure if I am finished with this one or not. I'll have to think about it for a day or two.

Round Like a Circle in a Spiral

20" x 20" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

Remember the Dusty Springfield song?

A friend saw this painting and remarked that plates painted like this would be great fun! Hmmmm, new ideas abound!

Bee Sweet

20" x 20" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

I continue to love the vibrancy of pinks with oranges. This painting began as a single petal and finished with the third bee.

Living in the south, I often hear the phrase "be sweet"...which came to mind after completing this fun painting.

Ebullient

20" x 20" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

I think that yellow is particularly difficult to work with. I thought I would give it a try.

This is the "evolution" of the yellow work in progress below. I hated the straight lines and wanted more flow within the painting. Quite a change, huh?

Workin' Late

12" x 16" acrylic on canvas

I used light modeling paste on this one to give the water and buildings texture.

What's Inside?

Working with compliments is one of my favorite things to do.

In an effort to add some complexity to the painting below, I added some additional colors and contrasts for emphasis.

I wanted to show movement and color harmony with this painting. Do you feel the energy?

I love the play of the cool greens against the warm red/orange.

AT LAST I'M BACK

Thanks for your patience.  I have been painting like crazy, but my photo cataloging software has not worked in some time.  I bought an iPhone because I needed a new cellphone and I absolutely love it.  It is made by Apple and it is lightyears ahead of any other phone I have tried.  I loved its ease of operating and its amazing capabilities that I decided to buy an iMac to replace my old computer.  It took courage to switch for a PC to a Mac.  The iMac arrived yesterday and it is up and running like a champ.  I have uploaded some pictures of my paintings and I will post those soon.  Again, thanks for your patience and thanks for stopping by.  I should be posting regularly now that I have a great computer with wonderful photo managing software.
