Stars and Tinsel Original Acrylic 9x12 Painting

The Christmas rush is over! It was very nice to spend time with family and eat lots of good food... but it is always nice to get back to painting! I am starting a couple of large pieces but I worked on this little sea star painting today. "Stars and Tinsel" for Christmas memories. It is 9"x12" acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, ready to hang, no frame needed for $225. Tomorrow I am skiing... so no daily painting for me.

Hermit Crab's Kingdom 16x20 Original Acrylic Painting

Happy Soltice Day! It is 11 below and I couldn't drag myself out to the studio... bad me. I did work on the computer uploading new images to my online store on Etsy .com This is a piece I did this summer titled "Hermit Crab's Kingdom". It is a "puzzle" piece with acrylic on canvas, wood, and air-dry clay starfish. It is 16x20, $545. I am just putting a new puzzle painting together, which I WILL work on tomorrow. It is 26x48 and will be of fall trees and Kokanee salmon.

Winter Crow Original Acrylic Painting on 8x10 canvas

Started the day by snow shoeing with Brandon in our 20" of new fallen snow! I had a couple of bits of good news. I'll be doing a new 15x30 commission of dolly varden for a couple living in Ireland. Also I heard from the owner of the Farrago gallery in New Delhi, India and he liked "Peacocks and Pomegranates" from yesterday and wants to do a show there. I met him when I visited last November... so that is exciting! Here is my work from today, "Winter Crow". He is 8x10 on a gallery wrapped canvas and is available for $200 plus $10 s/h SOLD

Peacocks and Pomegranates

Yeah! I just finished "Peacocks and Pomegranates". The snow is coming down and forming great big fluffy drifts and I was cozily cocooned within my warm studio... painting a tropical Indian scene!

This painting is 36"x 48" and is going to the MAC's (Museum of Arts and Culture) sales and rental program. I enjoyed creating the texture, colors, patterns and the dramatic tension between the two characters.

Raku Salmon

I do like to play with three dimensional pieces in between paintings! This is a raku-fired ceramic piece that I sculpted last summer. I am currently working on a large (36x48) acrylic on canvas of a woman and peacock. She should be up within the next couple of days. I would also like to start painting some small "daily paintings"...tomorrow! Thanks to everyone visiting my blog, I so appreciate your interest and support.
