Dark Rose

"Dark Rose"

Contemporary Abstract

Mixed Media- Oil with acrylic overlays

9" x 12"

Lately, I've been working on these 9" x 12" canvases, which are much smaller than what I've worked on for the last several months.  It's a nice little break, but I'm feeling like I need to continue with the large canvases in order to complete the work for my show in June.  So, maybe back to them next week.

Done?

"Garden Life"
Abstract Acrylic on 24"x30"
Contemporary Palette Knife

Today's daily painting. There is something about it that I really, really like, yet I'm not sure that it's done. Sometimes this comes so easily to me and I am sure of it, and then sometimes as with this one there is uncertainty.

Two in a Day

"Earth Move"

Acrylic Abstract on Canvas Panel

8" x 10"

"Beauty"

Transparent Watercolor on Arches

8" x 8"

I really never thought I would do this, but today I painted a realistic watercolor painting and an abstract. I usually go through a period where I'm doing just abstracts or just realistics. This was a surprise to me. I was really pushing to get them photographed so I could post them today, and so the watercolor was taken outside on our front porch. Well, it is snowing today and some snow blew in as I was photographing. If you look closely you'll see the snow flakes on Beauty!! No, I didn't paint those in. I did have a moment of panic though as it was getting wet, but it did dry without any spots.

This week I got just through ordering some more large canvases. Am I crazy or what?! So, as I wait for those to arrive I decided I would get out what I had left with the small canvases and use them. These that I have posted along with Kite Flite were the productions of the week. The fun part about painting the abstracts is that I never know how there going to turn out. Even if I do start with a preconceived idea you can pretty well can count on it changing, usually a lot! I'm going to get back in there and paint a few more floral watercolors as well.

Enjoy!!
