fun scene.

Scene

Acrylic on 22" x 22" paper, unframed

More abstracts on paper can be seen in my Etsy shop: HERE

I have added several more abstracts on paper to my Etsy store. (link above) The majority of my paintings are on canvas, but now and then I enjoy changing it up and working on a different support. The paper that I use is Arches 156b acid free watercolor. These paintings are sold unframed. I do price them about half of what they would be on canvas considering there is going to be the added expense of framing. There are so many different ways to prepare these for display making it more of a personal choice.  The paintings are lightly coated with an acrylic polymer varnish and would do just fine without placing them under glass. 

Fun time painting this scene with lots of layers, scratching through to underneath layers, overlaid drawing with oil pastel and graphite pencil.....and there's that pink again!!

I am an artist. That wasn't something that I could always say with certainty. It's taken many years of painting to arrive to that point. Oh sure, there was always that still small voice within that nudged me and told me that art was my gift. But until I stepped out in faith and began practicing, I could not know. So, what's this post about. It's about being certain and then again, not certain.

On the other hand painting doesn't always carry the same amount of certainty. There are many times when I feel uncertain, doubtful of the piece that I am working on.  I believe that it is the artist in me that always sees things optimistically...it will all work out, viewpoint.  This is essential when your going through that stage of a painting  that most referred to as "the ugly stage".  Just keep going.

A bit on this title. My husband is the title person.  Now and then I come up with one and when I do I like getting credit for it! When I showed him the image of this painting for title ideas, his immediate response was ooh la la. ....and I said, "that's it"!  So, there you have it.
