45" X 45" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. Well, here it is. My biggest Flower in a Square! I decided to tackle this big flower with the 14 foot ceilings of the old bank building... aka "Mason de Fleur".. in mind. I've got two huge walls that I figured just have to have huge flowers on them. What a fantastic time I had painting this big. I'm ready to do another.
7.5" X 7.5" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. Is the suspense just killing you. What did she do? What will posted on Friday? For those of you who get these postings a day late, you may want to check out my blogspot on the web tomorrow to see what I've done. It's very exciting! I just hope you're as thrilled as I am. Hasta mañana!
7.5 X 7.5" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. I guess I'm back to doing some flowers in a square. I'm actually got something cooking with this... I'll reveal on Friday.
22" X 22" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. Hello everyone. I'm back with a new painting and new granite counter tops. This night blooming ceris was destined to be painted as I was in two gardens in one week where the conversation was started about this plant that only blooms in the wee hours of the morning (3am I'm told). I have not seen it bloom in person. But, the next day this particular one bloomed in Biddy's garden and she shared her photos with me. Gotta love Biddy's garden.
10"X14" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. This was a fun and exciting way to end the week. I'm heading to "Mason de Fluer" a.k.a "the bank" and "my home" to put in counter tops and bathroom floors. I will not be in the studio for the next three days, so you won't be seeing a post till Tuesday. Have a great long weekend! I will make it up to you next week. Adios!
20" X 20" - Acrylic on Canvas. Hey! Got a lot of grief today from you guys for my sketch of "Bird Dance". (I truelly do appreciate the imput) I knew it was leading up to something. Could feel it in my bones. I actually love the direction this is going. I must be able to explore what I'm doing with paint without being afraid of making a mistake. I feel like if I only paint what is safe... all the time... then the journey and exploration is over... and that just wouldn't be any fun. At all!
5.5" X 15" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. I may have to go back into this at some time... but, I think it's good for you to see where some of my inspiration starts.
15" X 5.75" - Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. Another fish from a very whimsical day. Enjoy!
15"X5.5" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. Alright. I was in the silliest, most whimsical mood today. Wait till you see the crazy fish and things I sketched out for this week. I have to ask a little more for these.. even though they aren't huge, because of the intricate work that went into them.
44.5" X 12" - Mixed medium on 100% cotton paper. This is my catch for the weekend. And she's a beaut! Again... bigger than my typical big fish. Again... if you're in the Bywater area, come by and see me! Have a great weekend!
44.5" X 12" - Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. This and the next fish are huge. I forgot to chop off the end of the paper. So if you notice they are almost a foot longer than my usual big fish. Where is my head? I'm just your typical fisherman telling a fishing story. Each time the story is told my arms goes out just a little further... and the fish just keeps getting bigger and bigger. You've got to imagine... 44.5 inches. Or! come see me in the morning at By Water and see for yourself.
36" X 12" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. Hey! This is the first painting on my new big paper. And let me tell you... the paper is a different kind of animal. Sweet. Very Sweet. I love it. The water just flows in a different way... and the paper is very thick. Feels substancial. I get a lot of joy in painting fish. Strange phenomena.
11" X 11" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. I've been working on perfecting my portfolio... amongst juggling the many other things in my life... and it's been very hard to get this painting out on top of that. But, here it is! a little late... but, better late than... how does that saying go? This is the first flower of this size. Enjoy!
9.5" X 7" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. Just having fun with splashes of paint on some of my silk screen prints. I'm posting two today as I will be working on the bank building all weekend. Have a great one!
22 X 30" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. Oh! Yea! That felt sooooooooooo good. I love painting a bit bigger. It really frees up my lines. and... guess what?! Really BIG paper has arrived!! I'm so delighted, I'm not sure what to do!
8" X 11" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. I'm in a bit of a rush today... going in so many directions... but, I wanted to post these egrets.... without regrets. I'm inspired to do another! Gotta get to a meeting. Have a great day! or night! whichever is appropriate!
8" X 11" Mixed Medium on 100% cotton paper. I don't know what's going on here... Came in to paint another dog... or a bird... or something. and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I suppose I'm just bored. So isn't this what doing a painting a day is suppose to do? Make you push through to something else. I didn't want to paint realistically... sorry guys... for those of you who called and were so excited to see something recognizable. I was in one of those mischievious moods where I didn't want to paint in the lines. Just wanted to bam! put it out there. So... this is what I did. And... I like it. Hope you do, too.
8.5" X 11" Acrylic on 100% cotton paper. This is the first in a series of houses that I'll be painting and carving for a block print series. I just love going down street after street of fabulous color in New Orleans.
4"X6" Acrylic on 100% cotton paper. He's a real sweety. It is sometimes hard to get something painted when you're in the middle of something else. I've started doing sketchs for my New Orleans row house block print series. While I'm spending the time with these houses on my mind. I may paint a few of them. Thanks for all the input on the Terrier paintings. It seems that different people liked different ones. There was not one that was a favorite.
