Life's Balance, Autumn trees

"Life's Balance"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on canvas
$450.00

Odd how the beautiful colors of fall come trough the death of the leaves. The cycles of life are so balanced. Good things often come when we go through the hardest trials. Fall marks the end of summer, which is sad in some ways, yet so glorious too.

For me it was always the worst thing, to leave my grandmother's house and go back to school . . . Now it is a wonderful time, when the cool weather returns and outdoor activities begin! Living in Florida kind of puts a whole new light on things!

"All things work together for good to those that love God and are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Sunbath, Tufted fishtail palm

"Sunbath"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

I see this little palm almost everyday, and in the evening sun it is just glowing with color. I played up the impressionistic look that the plant has anyway, and had fun using a small brush with almost a pointillism technique.

Enjoy!

Big Lake Sunset, palette knife painting

"Big Lake Sunset"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

I am getting fond of the palette knife, I love the texture it creates! This painting was done alla prima, or all at once, to get that thick overlapping quality. It is often the goal, but seldom happens that way.  Painting over dry paint doesn't give the same mixtures of color.

I got out for a walk at the lake a few days ago, and took some nice pictures of the sunset. The sun had just slipped down below the water, so the colors were still bright and inspiring.

Thanks for looking!

Full Bloom, water lily

"Full Bloom"

6 x 6 inches

Acrylic on canvas

SOLD

Struggled at first, trying to get the feel of the petals, and trying to get the water to look like water. But then I finally relaxed and let my mind get into it, used the paint very thick and enjoyed pushing the colors around.

I love the strong colors, and the way the flower looks like it is moving with the water, that is what I wanted to begin with!

Enjoy!

Summer Fawn, wildlife art, deer

"Summer Fawn"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

ready to frame

This painting is not available

This was a very challenging thing to do! I had a couple of photos of the doe and one of the fawn, and made up the back ground. It think it came together very nicely. I love the little guy walking under his mother! So typical of youngsters to cause chaos for parents. Smile.

Enjoy!

The Sabbath, wildlife, great egret

"The Sabbath"

12 x 16 inches

Acrylic on canvas

ready to frame

I started out with too many colors, and nothing would come together. So I took a little breather and slowed down. Then I put on some worship music and thanked God for all the blessings in my life. Then the painting came together and it felt like Sunday worship service. It was as if God showed up and took my hand and showed me the way. I love it when He does that!

The Sabbath means a day of rest. Saturday or Sunday for most, but if you take your day off in the middle of week that is good too, as long as you give yourself a day of rest! God knew we needed that or we would get to run down.
Some people still get hung up on the old laws, but Jesus only gave us two commandments, To love the Father with all your being and to love each other!!!!

Down By The Water, Animal art, young cow

"Down By The Water"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on canvas

Sold

Saw this young cow while taking a boat ride up the creek. She was the only cow around and was very close to the edge, which I thought was odd. The rest of the herd was probably just over the hill. I was attracted to the bright sunlit grass and the wonderful shadows in the foreground.

"Lavender Lace"

6 x 6 inches

I am doing small studies for future compositions in a larger format. Lavender is one of my favorite flowers. This view has a little more detail than my more abstract paintings of these wonderful flowers.

Wild Clusters, orange flowers

"Wild Clusters"

6 x 6 inches

Acrylic on canvas

NOT AVAILABLE

I painted these from memory, you see them around the fence posts and along some paths around here. I like the impressionistic brush strokes and the thick texture of the flowers against the smooth soft background. It creates a nice contrast as well as the warm and cool contrast.

Enjoy!

"Opposing Forces" palette knife abstract painting

"Opposing Forces"

Set of 2, 6 x 6 inches each

Acrylic on hardboard

ready to frame

No deep hidden message for these paintings, at least not that I am aware of. I just wanted to push around some strong colors, and take a break from representational art. So here is what came about:

I started with swirls of thick bold color, and then decided to go with cool colors playing against the warm colors. I really got lost in the moment. After I finished the first one, I decided to create its companion. They could be hung together or separately, but I am only offering them as a set.
