Mana

This is a 4" x 4" collage on a canvas panel.

 I decided to go tropical since it is cold and grey in the Hudson Valley.

Le Bouquet de Fleurs

This is a 12" x 9" oil painting.

I used wax medium which gives the flower petals a lot of texture.

Flowers and Teapot

This is a 5" x 7" impressionistic oil painting.

 It is similar to the painting I posted two days ago except this is bigger.

I used one palette knife for the entire painting.

Seneca Light

 Seneca State Park is a magical place that I fell in love with. I painted this during the Geneva Plein Air Event. It is a 10" x 8" oil painting.

Berry Pickers

This is a tiny watercolor painting, 2" x 3". Although it is small it has a great presence. As everyone was painting mountains, I heard singing. I turned around and saw the heads of the berry pickers through the bushes. I immediately started painting!

Orchid Shadows

This is a contemporary Asian oil painting. It has an impressionistic feeling.

 It is full of vitality and is waiting for a home!

Zen of the Lake

This is a plein air oil painting that was painted at the north end of Canandaigua Lake.

 During this time the lake was very calm. I enjoyed the peacefulness and quietude.

Honey and Melon

Honey, melon, and what else? Are we waiting for a recipe, or do we create one?

Painting and cooking are similar.

Awakening

It's amazing how the natural world wakes up in spring. By taking time to observe all the wonders of the season we perk up and gain new energy. It is through this energy that we gain the ability to truly "Awaken".

Transmutation

This small 6" x 6" collage has to do with a large theme of shifting from one state to another. 

 The viewer is able to observe, not only an artistic sensibility, but text from three distinct languages; pieced together, this creates something entirely new!

Resolution

Resolution is achieved through mindfulness.

 It is the result of determination and evolves from a firmness of purpose.

 This collage represents a challenge to move from chaos to harmony.

Ancient Textures #2

This is a continuation of yesterday's post.

Ancient Textures

This is a collage with a light coating of gesso.  It is on an 8"x 8" cradeled panel.

I had a lot of fun figuring out how to work with the textures. 

Happy Landscape

This is a happy landscape. It is a peaceful setting.

 All dreams come to life!

Angelic Figure

This is a contemporary figurative painting.

 I drew the ink figure on prepared paper during an open sketch class.

 To prepare the paper I painted acrylics on a piece of glass

 and then printed it onto mixed media paper.

La Vida Abundante

The Abundant Life is a 5" x 7" mixed media painting.  This painting has many layers. 

 It is a happy painting!
