About a month ago, my sister and I took a day trip to Geneva on the Lake, Ohio. For as long as we’ve lived in the area, neither one of us have been there. The day was cold and windy, unseasonable for August but typical of this past summer. The view over Lake Erie and […]
Crackling fire on a cool evening, poking at the flames with a branch. That’s what I think of with this one. What does it remind you of? 8 x 8 inches painted directly on canvas. I’m beginning to paint directly on the canvas, something I haven’t done in a while. Acrylic paint and ink.
Soft passages of pink and beige, with drizzles of black ink. Dreamy but not too sweet. I love the spots where the ink “bloomed” into organic almost flower-like shapes. See the bit along the left edge, almost halfway down. Or some of the areas along the bottom edge. Reminds me of hydrangea? Hyacinth? Or something […]
A small 8-inch square painting in blues and reds with lots of movement. It feels joyous to me. The second photo shows how these paintings look when viewed from the side. They stand out nicely from the wall, or are able to stand on their own. 8 x 8 inches, acrylic paint and ink on […]
Remember when you were a kid and the best thing in the world was a hot summer day, cold water from the sprinkler, and grass between your toes? Thought so. 8 x 8 inches on paper. Acrylic paint and ink. Mounted on 1-1/2 inch deep gallery wrapped canvas.
Yes, now this is thistles! This one is smaller than some of the other recent photos: it’s 8 x 8 inches. Painted with acrylic paint and ink on paper. Mounted on 1-1/2 inch deep gallery wrapped canvas.
I started to title this one “Thistles” but decided that no, it reminds me more of lavender. Have you seen how lavender grows with the flowers on those long spiky branches? 12 x 12 inches, acrylic paint and ink on scrapbooking paper. Mounted on 1-1/2 inch deep gallery-wrapped canvas.
Washes of warm colors and drips of acrylic ink and dots of alcohol inks. Painted, as usual, on scrapbooking paper though the pattern really doesn’t show through much here. 12 x 12 inches, mounted on gallery wrap canvas. The photo below shows what I mean by “mounted on gallery-wrap canvas”. The painting is done on […]
Sweeping greens and purples and blacks, painted on scrapbooking paper. You can see some of the pattern from the paper especially around the edges. 12 x 12 inches, acrylic paint and ink. Mounted on gallery-wrap canvas.
I have been waiting to post photos of so many new paintings until I come up with just the perfect titles. It bugs me to name things #1 or Untitled or Green because I believe in the value of a good title to lead the viewer through my thought process. But sometimes the words just […]
