Golden Bouquet

Golden Bouquet ~ Acrylic on collage paper ~ 2.5 x 5.5 inches ~ $25

This is one of the paintings I dropped off today at Orion Art Center's Holiday Market....
I delivered quite a few of these tiny sized original paintings... packaged with a card and envelope, so you could mail it for an easy peasy gift....it's not even extra postage! :) Perfect size and price ($25) for anyone to begin their "original art" collection.....

The Holiday Market opens Monday, December 1st and runs through December 22... I got a sneak peek when I dropped off my things...and there are some wonderful offerings for sale! Paintings, pottery and jewelry along with hand sewn and knit creations.... and even home-made peanut and cashew brittle, are just some of the goodies you'll find there. All the things for sale are made by local artisans. Just a lovely group to support. :) And of course with each purchase you are helping support the Art Center itself.....Hope you'll include the Orion Art Center in your Holiday shopping plans.

I'm wishing you a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday ....Enjoy!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Woke up to a beautiful soft snowfall.... This spot is along the path that I take my morning walk on.... Just beautiful.

I'm just finishing up some more smaller paintings for the Holiday Market....
Enjoy your day!

All Together Now...

"All Together Now" 12 x 12 ~ Acrylic on panel

I dropped this one off, along with Rock the Boat Baby... at the Lawrence Street Gallery 12 x 12 show...Crossing my fingers that they are accepted! The Show will run through December.
Enjoy your weekend!

Losing Focus

"Losing Focus" 11 x 7 ~ Acrylic on paper

We all have experienced this at one point or another....Some of us more often than others! :)
I think I'll paint one called "Losing Focus...and then Getting it Back" Sometimes unfocused wanderings lead us to the most creative places.

Winter Warm Up....

"Winter Warm-Up" 5 x 7 ~Acrylic on collage paper

Still warming up with some smaller paintings to put in the Orion Art Center's Holiday Market...

I've barely emerged from the studio over the last month or so....Lots of ideas...so little time... :)

I really do love this discipline of the small warm up paintings before jumping into the larger paintings....A great time to experiment.

In One Ear.....

"In One Ear" 7 x 5 ~ Acrylic and ink on collage paper~

I am the lone woman in a family of four. ..(even the dog is male) Enough said. :)

This paper (the support) is the result of using citrasolve (found in health food stores) and National Geographic magazines....You never know what you're gonna get. The solvent melts the ink in the magazine...and when you pull apart the pages....yippee skippee! Just another example of what I learned in the Bob Burridge workshop. :)

Break Through

"Break Through"....11 x 7... Acrylic and pencil on watercolor paper....

A lot of layers here.... I'll do this one again larger. The colors were a lot of fun for me!
