Set in Stone 2, flowers in a stone planter, mixed media

"Set in Stone, 2"

Close-up view in warm lighting.

Flowers jumping off the page! Literally! This is a wonderful combination of color, pattern, and elements. It is like a song with a beautiful melody. Even the colors harmonize. Very few compositions come together so well, but this was the second one. The first was a learning experiment, and it was almost as lovely!

I created this just after closing my gallery from the pandemic, and now it is framed in a wonderful gold frame that sets it off more than I could have hoped for!

Some of the flowers are actually charms that created nice cast shadows. This gives an extra emphasis on the painted shadows. Other flowers have beads in the middle that catch the light as you view the painting from different angles.

If you can't tell I am very partial to this piece!

Calming Shores, beach, foot prints, knife painting

"Calming Shores"

Look for the footprints fading away into the water, and a dove in the waves!

This is part of a series of shoreline paintings, except this one is not mixed media. I was more interested in the effects of the palette knife and trying to get the footprints to be saturated with water than I was in adding fun beads and shells. The dove shape just showed up, so I enhanced it. Way too cool.

(I created this just before the pandemic. But because of shutting down my gallery, I never got around to posting it)

On My Way, path, palms, cardinal

"On My Way"

"I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the

Father except by me." (Jesus speaking) John 14:6

Exploring this path at a paint-out last year gave me some amazing photos! When the sun peaked through the clouds it inspired me to catch the memory in this painting. I've worked on this painting several times in the past few months and recently put the finishing touches on it.

The Plein air works I did that day were watercolor studies from a different area of the Ancient Oaks Preserve in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Sea Star, beach

"Sea Star"

Found this starfish at Walmart. It was bleached white. It was smaller than others I had found, so I thought it might work well on this small cradled hardboard. I painted it and adhered it with acrylic modeling paste after I created the beach.

I inverted the support and primed and painted the beach on the back so that I could use the cradled edge as a frame. Usually, the cradled back is used to hang the art and the sides get painted, so framing becomes optional. But this way I had a built-in frame!

(It is quite difficult to paint the inside edges of the cradled wood without ruining the painting!)

I had done this once before and really liked the effect ("Shoreline Treasures").

Also, I created "Sea Angel" at the same time as this project.

Enjoy!

"Seabiscuit Shoreline"

Seahorse 3D

Sea Angel, shells

"Sea Angel"

Played around with the patterns on the shells and they reminded me of a skirt, so I went with that and found some shells for the wings and head that were shiny. Fun little project!

I created "Sea Star" when I created this project.

Enjoy!

Below the Surface, turtle, fish, starfish, shells

"Below the Surface"

Experimented with a limited palette. Wanted the texture to be the main focus. Added actual starfish, seashells, and clay objects that I created from molds. Used the palette knife to create the interesting textures of seaweed and sand. Peaceful.

Streams of Joy, knife painting

"Streams of Joy"

From a demonstration painting originally. It is a little harder for students to get the hang of when you take the brushes away! Too much fun!

I added extra details and some butterflies later to finish it out.

ENJOY!

Cliffside, ocean, trees

"Cliffside"

Never posted this one, not sure how I overlooked it!

Playing with texture, I added gel medium with a knife to create a buildup for tiny branches and bark on the trunks. When that dried it was interesting to add colors that enhanced the effect.

Enjoyed the whole process!

Look Up and Pray, beach sunrise with Jesus

"Look Up and Pray"

Happy New Year!

This is my first painting of the year, what an awesome start! It is amazing how it came about: it was a rush order and I happened to have something similar in progress so I agreed to do it. I added Jesus, in place of the sun, and was able to get it to the client in a few days instead of months!

I have done angels in place of the sun, but this is the first time I painted Jesus there. Had to use tiny brushes, and redo it several times. I also added more clouds and highlights before I signed it. I love the way it turned out!

First Snow, fall scene, path, demonstration painting

"First Snow"

Life is crazy busy! I created this for an art class after Christmas, and I'm just now getting a chance to post it!

This painting is a take-off from an extremely bright fall scene, "Fall Path" (2016), which I toned down a bit. I wanted my students to see how they could change the format to vertical, use softer colors, and/or add snow. Very enjoyable lesson!
