reflections of fall


Praxis
Acrylic on 30"H x 40"W x 1.5" wrap canvas
Available: HERE

SOLD

I absolutely love watching the colors of the trees change this time of year.  Just so sad that they don't last very long.  They have definitely rubbed off on me with a color palette change.  Working on several other paintings that reflect this feeling of fall as well.   What's next....oh no, please.. not winter.

expressions


Trice
Mixed Media on 12" x 12" heavy watercolor paper
Ready to frame

Actually, this one was begun in a gesturally fashion with graphite and then it was used to clean my palette knife and roller on.  Today, as I was working on some other paper paintings I picked it up and completed it.  It also has some pieces of the dried on acrylic paint that you peel off of tubes. Fun.
...expressionistic.


If you just got to have it....may be purchased from my web gallery: here.

for you....


Allure

SOLD

Come-hither look... hoping that you will be enticed with the colors in this abstract!  I'm sorry that the textures aren't quite so visible with an online image.  This one also has some wonderful surface textures that are basically built up with layers of paint and an acrylic sand medium I've been playing with.  On the easel today is a warm color palette painting...at least so far!

a time to enjoy


Ablaze
Acrylic on 36" x 36" x 1.5" wrap canvas
Ready to hang

SOLD

Here in the Ozarks we are just on the verge of having all the leaves turn color.  It's just too bad that once it happens it only last for about a week and then it's gone.  I will definitely be getting out to enjoy the fall color palette.  This is a 2012 painting that reminds me of many of those colors.  If you click on the image you can get a better close up.  Enjoy!!

This painting is currently available and can be found in my Web Gallery: HERE

pushing through.....


Jewel
Acrylic on 12"H x 16"W heavy watercolor paper
Ready to frame

Ok I'm kicking myself for not having done this painting on a large canvas.  There are layers and layers of acrylic paint as I worked myself through this one.  There were stages that I loved but just not there yet, there were stages that I hated so all well what is there to lose.  In all, I just kept pushing through and I love it!  The layers of paint created some interesting textural surface..another plus.

Tres
Mixed Media on 11"H x 9"W heavy watercolor paper
Click on image for close up
Ready to  frame.

SOLD

I have to call this a mixed media painting although the surface is almost entirely covered with acrylic paint.  It was begun with watercolors.  Later, I switched to the acrylics intensifying those under lying colors.  There are still a few spots where the original watercolor layer can be seen.

higher ground....


Eminence
Acrylic on 30"H x 40"W x 1.5" wrap canvas
Ready to hang.

SOLD


Where does your inspiration come from?.....  For me this time it was music that has been written by an Australian group called "Sons of Korah", but the lyrics are straight out of God's Word in particular the book of Psalms.  The music is so beautiful and helped me to get centered upon higher ground.    Nothing like being inspired by The Creator God himself!
