Greetings and Giclee give away!

Greetings

I was working on adding depth to my painting by adding landscape in a different way than I normally do. I think these two cool cats are just getting to know one another. I hope they strike up a lovely friendship as I have with so many artists in this area. It has been wonderful to connect with other painters and photographers and sculptors. My life is fuller getting to know so many wonderful and creative people whether through blogging or through meeting them as I get to know more artists in the area.

This is an 8″ by 10″ Ink and Watercolor that is painted on aqua board. This painting is not yet varnished as I am visiting my sister in Asheville, North Carolina….oh and yes we have snow today. Something I hoped to get away from. But the mountains are beautiful and the art is great to see. Asheville has a really thriving artist community. I love it!

This painting is for sale for $600.00 and is framed in a maple shadow box.

I am working on this larger piece that I finished inking in today. I am not sure if they are my cats or wild cats.

These cats are happy to hang out in this jungle with giant mushrooms and wild flowers. There’s a cool cat leaning against the tree. Again influenced by Henri Rousseau’s jungles.

This is a 5″ by 7″ ink and watercolor on aqua board and is framed in an oak and black shadow box frame.

Sloucher, Day 23 of 30 paintings in 30 days.

SLOUCHER LOW RES

Here it is low resolution.

SLOUCHER IN LIGHT EMBOSSED

And with sunlight reflecting the watercolor with ground mica.

SLOUCHER EMBOSSED

And the real thing! Again inspired by my favorite artist Henri Rousseau. As we near the end of this challenge, I want to thank Leslie Saeta for encouraging us all to take on a painting a day.

This has been a great challenge and I had the opportunity to listen to Artists Helping Artists today. I am normally at work but this cold I have is a rough one. It was great to hear Leslie Saeta and Carrie Waller sharing their tips. When Carrie mentioned the golden Section I immediately thought of my husband’s work and the work of Harry Nadler from the late 1980’s.

Sometimes part of a painting makes a painting. I am working on several larger ones for a show and loved the interplay of colors here.
