Finished abstract painting

Bottom to top is work in progress,  with completed painting at the top. My cell phone has a mind of it's own as far as color goes. The top painting I took with my camera, and it's much more true to color.

Rosamond Prints

I was thinking today of my teenage-bedroom, when I still lived with my Mom, and I remembered the prints that used to hang on my walls. I could remember the faces of women, and the way they were painted, but I couldn't remember the name of the artist. Last night, I had a dream about them, and I remembered that they were by Rosamond. I did a search on the internet and found them and read about the artist! These are the prints that hung on my walls. I remember spending hours looking at them as I listened to music or hung out in my room.

My favorite was "Denim and Silk", and "Simone" reminded me of my Mom. "Blue Ice" was nice, but I really didn't relate to it... it was just the third print in the room. It was really interesting to read about the artist and her life. www.rosamond.com. It's so sad that she died so young. I wonder if these prints are out in our spare garage... I will have to look when the snow has melted and I can get in there.

Abstract Flowers - "The flower box" Finished.

Here is the finished painting. I had fun with this. I think I will do some more flower arrangement paintings. I like the looseness of this.

Abstract Flower Box Painting

I watched a video on youtube where an artist painted a flower arrangement in less than an hour. I thought I would give it a try. I spent about an hour on this in two sessions, and I am not quite happy with it yet, but it is coming along.. I'm going to add a little more color to the flowers and work more with the flower-box, the leaves need some more work too... heck, I'm just not done with it yet. :) The photos above show first and second session progress. The color on the first photo is a little more realistic to the painting, I took the second photo with my phone, and it's a little too vivid.

Edit, the bottom photo was taken after I made some changes tonight, I see a few things I am going to change after the paint dries. Getting closer to what I wanted.

Jan's Painting is finally finished!

I finally finished Jan's Painting this morning. I've spent several hours working on it this month. I am happy with the way it came out. I hope she likes it. I don't think she will hang it until the spring when she takes down her winter decorations, but when she does, I will take photos to show you.

Mandalas

A friend of mine wants me to design a Mandala Tattoo for her. I've been playing around with it. These are what I have done so far...

Artwork Hung at Jay's Plate in Mishawaka, Indiana

Big thanks to my hubby Jeff and friend Lela Crawford for helping me to hang my art at Jay's Plate in Mishawaka, Indiana today. Jay gave me an entire wall to hang my art on. All art is for sale and can be purchased there. The exciting thing for me was to actually see the art hung on the wall! It looks so cool!
